Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on a $75 million proposed land bond issue sponsored by Maine's Senate Majority Leader Chellie Pingree, D-North Haven, who acknowledges that if a vote were taken today, it would be quite close in the House. Despite widespread popular support, there is firm opposition from fiscal and ideological conservatives, largely Republicans. The biggest hurdle is in the House, where there are up to 40 Republican lawmakers who might vote against it, the beginning of a nucleus which could block the two-third majority needed for passage.
