I had thought the people of Maine already decided the fate of the Central Maine Power corridor, but I was wrong. I guess the views of voters don’t matter to CMP’s parent company, which is bankrolling efforts to effectively overturn the will of the people with high-powered legalese. It would have been nice if it had used its money to provide some relief on our monthly electricity bills from CMP. Maybe if it had done that, it’d get some sympathy. The corridor destroy some of our state’s most scenic views, hurt the deer, brook trout and waterfowl populations and diminish the economic benefits our wilderness and wildlife provide our state. And for practically nothing. ~ Bennett Allen, Buxton
