Letter: Electric bus funding the fruit of bipartisan cooperation

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • November 13, 2022

It was exciting to read that school districts across Maine were awarded funds to purchase electric school buses, and in particular that the Wells-Ogunquit school district will be able to replace all but one of its diesel buses. Not only will these buses carry much lower maintenance costs, they’ll also emit zero pollution, creating a healthier environment for children riding the bus. These grants from the federal government are such a great example of how we can work across political parties to transition to a clean energy economy. ~ Beth Widmayer, Wells
