Major support is being shown for a bill that aims to safeguard state shoreland, by giving municipalities more authority to enforce zoning laws. Presented by Sen. Tim Nangle, "An Act to Strengthen Shoreland Zoning Enforcement" would give more strength to local governments to defend zoning laws when ordinances are violated. It would also grant more authority to the Maine Land Use Planning Commission.
