When examining Question 2, voters should not ask themselves whether this is the perfect law or not. It is important not to let perfection be the enemy of the good. Voters should ask themselves whether passage of this law is likely to lead to more sustainable forestry than not passing it. Not passing this law leaves us with the status quo, which we know is not sustainable. The Legislature has failed to solve this problem.
Serious problems exist in Maine s forests.
Now is the time to take action. We encourage you to vote yes on 2. Everett B. Carson is executive director of the Natural Resources Council of Maine. All rights reserved.
