Letter to the editor: Listen to rural Maine on power line proposal
Recently Tony Buxton, a lobbyist working in favor of Central Maine Power’s controversial transmission corridor, said that the voices of small-town Mainers shouldn’t be considered during the permitting process. During a debate, he said that it “would be absurd” for small towns to have a say in what goes through their backyard, picking on Caratunk, […]

Letter to the editor: Portland clean elections won’t work without sufficient funding
On Sept. 16, the Portland City Council decided to overrule the will of the 8,500 voters who signed the citizen-initiated charter amendment petition to establish a municipal public funding program. The council chose instead to follow the ill-informed opinion of the city’s corporation counsel and voted to postpone the matter indefinitely. Now Councilors Belinda Ray […]
