Outdoor recreation is a critical component of Maine’s economy. Many towns in Maine rely primarily on outdoor recreation for economic stability. However, Maine does not have a history of investing in this industry. If we pass the Maine trails bond, which is Question 4 on the Nov. 5 ballot, we will invest 30 million into designing, maintaining, and creating trails all over Maine. This bond can help Maine to capitalize on its crucial, yet fragile, outdoor recreation industry. ~ Kyle Arthenayake, Waterville
