Maine petitions oppose Dickey Lincoln project to Gov Longley
A two foot high stack of petitions with 61297 signers was delivered to Gov James B Longley opposing the Dickey Lincoln hydroelectric project on the upper St John River in northern Maine. Wayne Cobb of the Natural Resources Council said the drive showed broad citizen sentiment though petitions have no legal hearing. The council began collecting in June 1976 after informational meetings across the state. Actor Robert Redford canceled plans to host a re election dinner for Sen Hathaway due to Hathaway's support of the project.
