By now you’ve seen, read or heard about Question 1, to ban the Central Maine Power corridor. A “yes” vote gives the corridor a thumbs-down while giving the legislators the right to change the projects underway back as far as 2014. (Which includes the CMP corridor.) A “no” vote gives the CMP corridor a thumbs-up while saying “no” to retroactive laws and rulemaking. I have to hand it to whoever wrote Question 1. It’s a win-win for CMP either way. The state will win in the end and the power line to Massachusetts will be built. ~ Mark Seibel, Sanford
