Land for Maine's Future
Legislators Approve Bond Package for Conservation
When more than 75 people turned out in March for a public hearing on
conservation bonds, lawmakers took note. The room was packed, filled
to overflowing with people sporting bright lapel stickers supporting
the Land for Maine’s Future and Riverfront Community Development
bonds, which have been priorities for Maine Audubon in this session
of the Legislature.
Shortly after the hearing, legislators approved a bond package that
includes $17 million for the Land
for Maine's Future program and $5
million for Riverfront
Community Development as well as $7.5 million
for parks and $1.45 million for trails.
"Given this year's fiscal constraints and the many other important
bonding priorities, we thank the Legislature and Governor Baldacci
for bipartisan support of conservation," said Maine Audubon executive
director Kevin Carley.
To ensure passage, the bonds will need a strong showing of support
at the polls in November.
