I know Maine’s people and government have always worked together to preserve the natural resources of our state: forests for the air we breathe, the wildlife, and sustenance of our spirit and waters to quench our thirst and to nurture our unique and precious ecosystems. I know we need minerals, but not if they must be dredged from the very heart of Maine. I implore the LUPC to reject Wolfden’s request. There are times we have sold too much timber, too much water and too many fields to industrial or corporate entities, but we must be cognizant of the limits. Too big a bite, from the very center of our state, to feed the glutinous appetites of a corporate meal would be at the expense of Maine’s land and people. ~ Jayne Lello, Sebec
