Reply to comment by Derstilweedndat in Good insights into our public referendum process. The all or nothing approach on either side of an issue has it’s consequences. In recent years I have moved to voting no on any issue regardless of the source. by Maineguy58

I read the article. That the author was a LePage stooge is confirmed by his biography. Whether Avangrid is paying him (or paying the BDN) is not something we are in a position to know, but it seems plausible based on the content of the article.

It didn't really seem biased in either direction to me.

Interesting. It seemed very pointed to me.

"my side loses referendums, while evil lefty gremlins like Ethan Strimling win them, so all referendums are bad" is the entirety of the argument.

Oh good point, you've convinced me and made me see the error of my ways!
