Rarely do we have a chance to vote for something that will better the environment and provide jobs and spur the economy. They’re usually mutually exclusive. But in this CMP project, we can help Massachusetts tap into clean power while at the same time providing jobs and lowering costs for Maine utility ratepayers. It’s a devil of a question to be sure, but there seems to be more pros than cons. I hate to agree with Gov. Janet Mills on anything, but she and I agree on this one. Vote “no” to build the line. Tap hydropower. Lower electricity rates. Reduce our dependence on gas and oil.
