We’ve witnessed the start of destruction to Maine’s “Enchanted Forest.” “Enchanted” has been the name of this area for decades. Enchanted Forest, Enchanted Pond, the Lower and Upper Enchanted Road. It’s in the Gazetteer. Tourists and residents cried at the sight of our wilderness recreation forest and rugged mountains scarred by a stripped corridor of fire-hazard rubble and chaos. Out-of-state vehicles and workers blanketed our communities to force this falsely proclaimed, deceptive energy project for Massachusetts, Spain and Quebec. CMP’s clean-energy claims are outright lies. All of Maine’s major environmental groups oppose this project because it is a greenwashed scam. Vote “yes” on 1 to reject the corridor! ~ Ashley Tempesta, Caratunk and Gorham
