Maine people should carefully consider the CMP Western Maine power line heading for Massachusetts residents. This Power line once installed will create a vast scar on the land throughout our most remote and wild places. Places tourist love to come to hike, swim, raft and just enjoy our brand, “The Maine Brand.”
It will affect close to 700 wetlands or bodies of water, disrupt wildlife migrations cross the Appalachian Trail two times. The scenic Kennebec River gorge and disrupt “The Way Life Should Be.”
In addition, in order to maintain the line for “Life” concerning the landscape it needs to be aerial sprayed with “Round Up” to deter tree growth beneath the power line. This herbicide has been determined to cause cancer in people and animals, fish, frogs and birds.
Think Mainers, this is a bad deal for us and our lands. Raise your voice Loud and Clear. Please join me in voting “ YES” this November to stop the CMP corridor.
Call CMP, call the PUC and call the DEP because this is all about the DO – RE – ME

Kevin, Try to stay up to date on this thing, ok. CMP can’t use herbicides, CMP has already modified the line and is going to use a sideways “drilling” process to go under the Kennebec, not over it. 54ft is just about as wide as most of the miles and miles of logging and fire access roads that are in that area that crisscross the countless clearings that the logging industry has created, the region isn’t wilderness nor is it remote, and given the thousands of pounds of trash and human waste people leave on the trail every year, a power line just sitting there doing nothing, should be the least of your concerns.
Do you want to require the Maine Public Utilities Commission to reject a previously-approved proposal to construct the New England Clean Energy Connect electrical power transmission line through western Maine?” This is the wording that will appear on the ballot, read it carefully.
the way the question is worded is pure politics.
Darryl Wood was being kind when he said Mr Dumlap was fair coming up with the wording..
Political Trickery.. “SURPRISE”.!

No Corridor.
