I want to ask the Maine people, the majority of whom cast their ballots against the destruction of our north Maine woods, did your vote count for anything? Does voting in the state of Maine have any meaning? Does a democracy even exist in this state any more? (“Work can resume on CMP power-line project, jury rules,” April 20)
Sixty percent of the Maine people voted against the CMP corridor and the destruction of our Maine woods that benefits only Spain, Massachusetts and Canada. So a couple of foreign countries funneling money out of this state to benefit another state is acceptable? When did this become OK in Maine?
