Letter: Resist CMP’s pressure tactics – vote ‘yes’ to reject corridor

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • July 16, 2021

What Central Maine Power says to state legislators behind closed doors is far different from CMP’s social media propaganda. CMP wants the voter to think the corridor is good for the environment and climate change. But to our legislators, CMP’s lobbyists confirm that building this project will end Maine-based, renewable energy like solar and wind. If the environment and our climate future is your concern, are you going to trust the foreign entities strong-arming Mainers so they can make billions off Maine’s destruction? Or are you going to trust the national and Maine-based environmental organizations that oppose this corridor based on science, expert testimonies and sworn facts on the record? Vote “yes” this November to reject the CMP corridor! ~ Rep. Jennifer Poirier (R), Skowhegan
