PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • September 20, 2021
I will be voting “yes” to reject Central Maine Power’s proposed new power line, and urge others to do so as well. There’s a multitude of insufficiently answered questions regarding the entire proposal, including but not limited to Indigenous claims to lands flooded by Hydro-Quebec dams; lack of adherence to the width of clearcutting allowed; illegal granting of the lease of public lands, and outright lies being promulgated in CMP’s and Hydro-Quebec’s advocacy advertising. However, my decision ultimately was made because I see CMP as a poorly managed company. The needs of the public should always be in balance with those of the company. Until that occurs, they are undeserving of the confidence of Maine’s voters. ~ Ann Morrill, South Portland
