More than 2 1/2 pages of the Maine Sunday Telegram were devoted to the decline and fall of the Great Northern Paper Co. without a single mention of Great Northern’s most prominent former employee, U.S. Rep. Michael Michaud.
When elected to the Maine Legislature in 1980, Rep. Michaud was employed as a mill worker at the Great Northern East Millinocket plant. That employment continued during the 22 years he served in the Legislature, seven terms in the House followed by four terms in the Senate.
As a six-term congressman, now candidate for governor, it would have been helpful to hear Rep. Michaud’s views on what happened and, perhaps, what should have happened, to that very competent newsprint manufacturer.
