Maine House Votes Down Nuclear Plant Control Bill
The Maine House defeated a bill 74 to 52 that would have placed nuclear plant construction and operation under strict state control. Rep. Lawrence Greenlaw said the amended version covers gaps not regulated by state and federal law, while Rep. Lena Durgin argued federal rules suffice. The Senate had already defeated the original bill. The House also defeated a helmet law repeal and approved a tax credit for new Maine manufacturers, then rejected an amendment to bar voter registration in the nine days before elections.
