In the race for governor, the choice is clear. Gov. Mills is driving Maine forward to a clean-energy future and protecting our land, water and health. Paul LePage would slam the car into reverse. With overwhelming bipartisan support, Gov. Mills set Maine on a course to achieve 80% clean, renewable energy by 2030 while reducing the state’s dependence on oil. She committed to reducing carbon pollution by 80% by 2050. And, at the same time, she has honored her commitment to make sure our waters, wildlife and way of life are protected. Paul LePage, by contrast, was one of the most anti-environmental governors in history. Instead of making progress on pressing issues like climate change, he spent eight years attacking basic protections for our waters, health, land and wildlife. ~ Maureen Drouin, Maine Conservation Voters Action Fund
