Letters: Court should revisit beach access issue

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • July 25, 2021

Coastal beaches are in their full glory. Mainers anticipate this stretch of summer all year long.But while innocently trying to enjoy our coastline, some cast uneasy glances at certain homes along the beach. This has been true since 1989 when Maine Supreme Court justices, the four who owned coastal waterfront property, overstepped judicial authority and issued an acutely flawed ruling. The three judges who did not own waterfront property disagreed. A legal correction is overdue. At www.OurBeaches.me you can read the lawsuit intended to rectify those judicial errors and re-establish law that Maine people own the beaches and inter-tidal lands. Support it if you can. ~ Mark Robinson, Biddeford
