CMP Transmission Line Faces New Legal Challenges, Including One Over Public Lands

MAINE PUBLIC • June 23, 2020

There was more legal action Tuesday in the fight over Central Maine Power’s (CMP) proposed powerline through the state's western woods. One well-financed opposition group called Stop the Corridor filed suit Tuesday in an ongoing dispute over whether it can keep its funding sources secret. And on a new front, a multi-partisan group of past and present lawmakers, nonprofit groups and individual Mainers is mounting a court challenge to a lease the state signed with CMP for public lands along the route of the controversial project.
