Abstract
"this just in" piece on LD 389, a bill that passed the House last week, and would repeal the law that makes it possible for citizens to initiate a petition for a referendum in order to place a retroactive moratorium on building projects after a planning board has approved them. Rep. Ed Suslovic, D-Portland, sponsor of the bill, noted that affordable-housing developers are being scared off by fears that they will invest money in planning a project, only to see the projects held up by unhappy citizens. Opponents of the measure say it takes away the final check in local governmental checks and balances.
