Letter: Missed opportunity for electric school buses in Searsport

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • January 30, 2023

I was disappointed to read that the Searsport-area school board rejected an opportunity to purchase electric school buses. The buses would have been entirely or almost entirely paid for by the Environmental Protection Agency thanks to their new electric school bus program, and I’m afraid Searsport has passed up a valuable opportunity to reduce pollution, save money on operation and maintenance, and enhance the health of local schoolchildren. I hope Searsport will reconsider their decision. ~ Janet Williams, Searsport
