CENTRAL MAINE • June 30, 2025
A recent article highlighted the fact that Maine’s climate plan is at risk due to cuts in the proposed federal budget, and I’m asking Sen. Susan Collins to vote against those cuts. The Maine Climate Council has done a good job of looking at those changes and making recommendations for the state’s climate action plan. The proposed cuts, though, would make their job much harder, if not impossible. To truly help Mainers, Sen. Collins should vote against the proposed cuts and work to make sure the necessary funding is restored. ~ Erica Bartlett, Portland
