Sen. Rick Bennett’s bill, LD 194, designed to prohibit businesses owned by foreign governments from lobbying, should pass without a second thought. The reason is that, although Hydro-Quebec brought the Maine legal loophole to our attention, allowing foreign intervention by a foreign government in a Maine referendum places Mainers in a defensive position against a well-funded entity. People should contact their legislators today and let them know they respect our democratic process and the price our veterans have paid for it. ~ Bob Haynes, Skowhegan
