Organized labor partnering with environmental groups like Maine Audubon and Maine Conservation Voters, has fought hard for LD 1895, An Act Regarding the Procurement of Energy from Offshore Wind Resources. It is very important that these projects in Maine have strong labor standards. This will create safe job sites, career opportunities and secure good wages and benefits for all Mainers who work on these projects. The best way to generate power is by clean energy from offshore wind with strong labor standards. I am confident that this will put Mainers to work with good jobs while keeping our state clean and preserving the environment. ~ Jayme Skelton, Lisbon Falls
