Issue Position: Environmental Protection

Issue Position

Our region's economy is heavily dependent on our wonderful environment and excellent water quality. States can fight against roll backs in environmental protections at the federal EPA by making sure our state protections remain robust. Better planning to address the impacts of climate change on our infrastructure and environment will become even more important. As we attempt to deal with invasive species, increased pollution from runoff, and public health issues like tick-bourne diseases, Maine will need strong advocates in the Legislature.
