Dear Editor:

The CMP project advertised under the Clean Maine has not yet been approved for construction. There is a new referendum initiative to bring the CMP corridor to a vote by Maine citizens and I am volunteering by collecting signatures of Maine residents to make the referendum available. The referendum will hopefully make CMP’s plans more transparent to voters who so far have only CMP’s ads to judge.

I will be at the Boothbay Transfer Station on Saturdays to collect signatures. Look for a white pickup truck with the NO CMP Corridor logo. Please sign to make this citizens’ vote possible. This project appears to me to be of little economic benefit to Maine and the environmental damage alone should make us all reluctant to support CMP.
