Gov. Janet Mills has vetoed a measure to establish visual impact standards for future offshore wind projects, which originated from her own office. Mills said she vetoed L.D. 1847 because the Legislature failed to recall the bill at her request after it was amended to require that all projects have project labor agreements, which she does not support. She also pointed out that no other New England state requires labor agreements for offshore wind development projects.
