Enact a moratorium on any new data centers

Enforce Guardrails Against AI Data Center Impacts & Costs: Speculative, power-hungry data center projects are looming across the country, and too often households are left paying the price--through higher electricity bills. Maine must enact a moratorium until we can ensure any new data centers pay their own way up front, offer benefits to host communities, and do not jeopardize the environment, health and wellbeing of their neighbors.

Fund and maintain Maine's road infrastructure

LD1790: An Act To Secure Maine's Transportation Future.

Summary by Maine Better Transportation Association, in support: Led efforts to draft and pass LD 1790. The landmark bill provides the framework for major changes in how Maine finances its transportation infrastructure.

Lewiston Sun Journal, 6/11/2007: There's one item all Mainers always find consensus: our roads, for the most part, are awful. The national transportation nonprofit, TRIP, [published a] report which coincides with the June 12 referendum on a $113 million transportation bond. TRIP's findings: a full third of Maine's roads are either mediocre or poor, for example, and 20 percent of our bridges are "functionally obsolete."
