PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • August 31, 2021
Since retiring from the Maine Senate, I’ve largely remained quiet about political issues. But when it comes to the CMP corridor, I’m compelled to speak up because I know that we can’t trust CMP with this project. During my eight years serving District 34, one company was consistently opposed to all clean energy reforms in Augusta – CMP. Now, that very same company has spent nearly $30 million to convince Mainers that we must sacrifice our treasured western Maine forest in the name of advancing renewable energy for Massachusetts. It’s time for CMP to focus their attention where it belongs – on improving the quality of service here in Maine. We deserve better. Vote “yes” on Question 1 to stop the CMP Corridor. ~ Former state Sen. Ron Collins, Wells
