MAINE MORNING STAR • April 17, 2024
After initial disagreement between Maine’s House of Representatives and Senate, a bill needed to continue the permitting process for the state’s desired location for an offshore wind port appears to have prevailed. On Wednesday, the House revisited LD 2266 and ultimately decided to go back on its previous vote against the legislation and concur with the Senate, which passed the bill earlier this week. There was no explanation for the change. Later Wednesday night, the Senate advanced the bill to the Appropriations Committee for funding.
