The Maine Energy and Natural Resources Committee is considering a proposed constitutional amendment, LD 489. The amendment establishes our unequivocal right to clean water, and I urge people to express strong support to their representatives and senators. The bill articulates my expectation that the state, including each branch, agency and political subdivision, shall serve as trustee of the natural resources of Maine. To declare — in this unambiguous way, that we take our obligation seriously — is the least we can do for our children and future generations. ~ Diane Oltarzewski, Belfast
