PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • October 15, 2022
The Port of Portland is a modern success story, and a powerful economic driver for Maine and the region. Citizen initiative Question E, which would forbid cruise ship calls by any but the smallest cruise ships, threatens the success of the port and the traditional waterfront jobs that success has generated. Even the very organization that worked so hard to get Question E on the ballot has withdrawn its support for the initiative. Let’s keep the port in Portland. ~ Walter Russell and Nico Walsh, current and past presidents of the Propeller Club of Portland
