It’s no secret I’ve had real concerns about the NECEC corridor project in the past, or that CMP has had its share of challenges. But when I read Question 1 for the first time, one word jumped out at me: “retroactively.” If Question 1 passes, it will empower politicians to target Maine people and businesses by making new laws that apply to events that happened legally in the past. It sets a terrible precedent for Maine that could harm some of our most important industries for generations to come. I have always fought for our constitutional rights and liberties, and I’m fighting against Question 1 because it threatens those very freedoms. ~ Adrienne Bennett, Mainers for Fair Laws
