Letter: Don’t leave Maine workers on sidelines in offshore wind development

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • June 30, 2023

In vetoing LD 1847, I believe Gov. Janet Mills is once again turning her back on union members and showing the state of Maine that the working class and the development of clean energy are not a priority. We have been told, ” Maine Won’t Wait” repeatedly. But, what we’re hearing is that not only can Maine wait, but we can allow for it to be done by out-of-state companies with questionable safety records, while Maine tradesmen and women sit on the sideline, as second-class citizens in their own state. ~ Kimberly Tobias, Manchester
