Plum Creek is proposing a controversial mega-development near Moosehead Lake. Rick Holley, CEO of Plum Creek , joined the board of directors of the Blethen Corporation in May 2006. The Press Herald has published 60 or so stories and editorials on the subject in the past year and a half. None of those pieces disclosed the relationship.
