The Natural Resources Council of Maine, or NRCM, is asking state regulators to stop Central Maine Power from clearing any more woodlands for its controversial power line in western Maine. That follows Tuesday's decisive statewide vote for a law that aims to kill the project. CMP's parent company, Avangrid, has maintained a defiant stance since the vote, vowing to continue construction and seeking a court order to put the voters' will on hold while it challenges the referendum's legitimacy.
