Letter: Plan aims to protect environment, expand economy

SUN JOURNAL • March 5, 2021

Maine’s Vacationland moniker has always drawn folks from across the country. That is precisely why we must address the toll climate change is taking on Maine. The Baker-Shultz Carbon Dividends Plan is perfectly designed to protect both jobs and the environment. The plan is the only comprehensive and viable climate solution with true bipartisan support, and its projected emissions reductions will actually exceed all previous regulations and international commitments combined. Maine’s federal delegation needs comprehensive, realistic solutions that ensure the bipartisanship that they themselves have always championed. Baker-Shultz is the only proposal with that level of bipartisan support. ~ Roy Mathews, Lewiston
