Hearings on Land for Maine’s Future bills (L.D. 983 and L.D. 687) are taking place soon. Hidden in the text of both is a kill mandate. This consists of three words – trapping, hunting and fishing – which must be allowed on any land purchased through the program. Remove these three words and we have great bills – leave them in and a small minority of people have control over all the wild spaces we want to preserve. We call on our legislators to remove those three words. ~ Elaine Miller, Brunswick
