Do not allow CMP to keep us in the dark about Question 1. Despite the ads that depict Question 1 as affecting more than high-impact transmission line projects, it will not.
This November’s vote on the transmission line project is not about going back in time to stop any other construction projects. It is about keeping foreign companies from using Maine as a conduit to feed Massachusetts for big profits. It is about big corporations from taking our public lands from Mainers without any due process or law.
CMP ‘s damaging project is owned by Iberdrola, a Spanish company with one of its major stockholders the rich Middle Eastern country of Qatar. They have spent tens of millions of dollars to trying to convince us that Maine will benefit from this horrible project.
Since Iberdrola took over CMP a decade ago, they initiated a massive project called the Equipment Reliability Project. This cost ratepayers $1.6 billion. Since then CMP reliability fell to the worst in the country. Do not let CMP keep Maine in the dark again. Vote yes to ban the CMP corridor.
