Opinion: The Price of Trust in Maine

COMMUNITY ADVERTISER • October 23, 2021

CMP had to spend gobs of money on ads trying to convince us they really are good guys, despite a dismal track record. Now, they want us to be afraid (very afraid) that a proposed law is going to create this thing called “retroactivity”. In fact, retroactivity is a long-standing precedent; it’s standard in laws addressing misguided decisions based on half-truths. Voting yes on Question 1 will send a clear message: In Maine you cannot buy trust, you have to earn it. ~ Kent Ackley, Monmouth, Independent Legislator 2016-2020
