A Bangor Daily News reporter for Millinocket, that classily misquotes town officials reports that there is still hope for the mill~ http://bangornews.com/detail/49977.html
Now what Nick; is this an exercise in political patty-cake or have you become a complete company man?
It’s not going to reopen, and even if it does, the town is still going take the dam, force Brookfield to clean up its toxic love cannel and quite possibly litigation for the cancer clusters surrounding the Mill. Yup, The Canadian based Brookfield Power and Brookfield Asset Management will be paying for this mess for a long time.
I wouldn’t want to own stock in this sinking ship!

this would not be siezure by eminent domain; it would be NATIONALIZING a private company. That's also called FASCISM.
Does the local high school up there even bother to teach american history or social studies ?report abuse

Councilor scott Gonya should borrow a copy of the constitution. It appears he niether owns a copy nor ever read it.

What kind of insanity is this. Maybe we should consider taking the town counciler's private property by eminent domain. I'm sure we could use some more green space up there.report abuseYou must be a registered user of MaineToday.com to post a comment. Register or log in.
