House Revives Allagash Plan Against Committee Split
The Maine House revived the Allagash River Authority bill while the Senate tabled a Maine Power Authority Cross Rock project measure. The House passed two readings and set a third reading, while the Senate opposed both bills. The Cross Rock plan would flood parts of the Allagash and St. John valleys with power development, with state revenue sharing and a requirement to keep some power for Maine. Opponents say cost estimates are too low and power would be less competitive locally.
