Opinion: Grateful to Brunswick

TIMES RECORD • November 11, 2022

Thank you so much to the voters in central Brunswick’s House District 100 for electing me as your state representative. On Brunswick Landing, our former naval air base, we have an aging stormwater system riddled with PFAS contamination. This is a challenge Brunswick and the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority should not have to meet on their own. We need the state to both help. Brunswick is also a major connection point for future recreational trails that make use of retired rail corridors, and we must follow through on existing legislation to complete that work. I hope we can all acknowledge the work of my predecessor, Rep. Ralph Tucker, who spent the last eight years as one of Maine’s best environmental policymakers. ~ Dan Ankeles, representative-elect, House District 100
