Maine lawmakers will decide whether to send a Maine Trails Bond to the November ballot so that Maine voters can decide whether to invest $30 million over the next four years in the development and maintenance of trails statewide. I hope they do. We have the potential to become a top-tier state in the nation that is known for trails that attract new residents, talent, businesses and tourists. I say this as a lifelong trail user and an economic development professional in central Maine. Skowhegan continues to realize our vision of becoming an outdoor recreation mecca. Like other small, rural towns, we just need more capital to bring our goals to fruition. I urge the Legislature to send the Maine Trails Bond to the voters. ~ Kristina Cannon, Main Street Skowhegan
