More bucks for Maine conservation efforts
It appears that Question 5, the land and water conservation bond issue, is passing handily by 66% to 34%.
Passage means somewhere in the neighborhood of $12 million bucks (plus $7 million in matching private and public contributions) for a variety of recreation, forest, water, farmland and wildlife habitat protection projects across the state.
It's a good thing that will benefit all users of the great Maine outdoors.
