I must challenge claims in Alex Titcomb’s letter published Feb. 24, “NECEC won’t tarnish Maine’s woods.” Unlike the swath of wilderness NECEC would permanently bisect, these forests provide permanent jobs for thousands of Mainers. The true goal of NECEC is corridor status, from Lac Megantic to the Sheepscot River in Wiscasset. The only industrial infrastructure in the proposed corridor zone is an international railroad. I would be honored to fund and share a flight from Jackman’s Newton Field, so Alex can experience the lands of my ancestors, on both sides of this proposed project of mass destruction. ~ Sheryl Hughey-Harth, Jackman
