Max Linn’s complaint against CMP corridor shrugged off by project proponents

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • September 16, 2020

The U.S. Senate candidate who teased a lawsuit against the Central Maine Power corridor in an odd and bombastic debate performance filed a Tuesday complaint dismissed by a project proponent as “a political document, not a legal document.” The move from independent Max Linn of Bar Harbor, who is running against Republican Sen. Susan Collins, House Speaker Sara Gideon, D-Freeport, and Solon educator Lisa Savage in the November election, is intended to leverage the unpopularity of the proposed $1 billion project through western Maine that would bring Quebec hydropower to the regional grid.
