Letter: Can foreign interests overrule the will of Maine people?

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • November 12, 2021

It’s a sad day for the State of Maine! Leading up to the election, people were fretting over the word retroactive. Little did we know that the will of the people would basically die as soon as the polls closed. If the will of entities in Spain, Qatar and Quebec can overrule the people’s voice then I think there is no longer a State of Maine. Any government and any foreign company can apparently do whatever they want. The precedent is being set now. Iberdrola and its affiliates say they will continue construction [of the CMP corridor]. Greedy foreign powers are watching to see how easy it is. ~ Rev. Darien (Deke) Sawyer, Jackman
