Having worked in the construction industry for over 20 years, balancing budgets and practicing fiscal responsibility are two business tactics I believe in. The current budget proposal being debated in the U.S. Senate will hurt businesses and have potentially damaging economic consequences. Repealing the clean energy tax credits at the end of this year — which is what the House bill calls for — will not only harm businesses but it will also cause an increase in energy costs for consumers. The clean energy tax credits have generated $1.2 billion worth of investments in Maine, and that’s not including the additional $5.3 billion worth of “outstanding investments” which are projects that have been announced but not yet started. ~ Glenn Adams, Sargent Corporation, Orono
