Jay Planning Board members Tuesday voted against a request by Central Maine Power to have three members recuse themselves from voting a shoreland zoning application for alleged conflict of interest and bias. The request was made by an attorney and related to CMP’s proposed 145-mile New England Clean Energy Connect corridor. CMP attorney Matthew Manahan of Pierce Atwood firm in Portland asked the members to recuse themselves from discussion and voting on the permit application because of their known opposition to the project.
