  1. “We are happy to provide this service for the community, but would like to remind everyone that we are a school and that we are home for 100 residential students. We ask that everyone please be respectful of these two facts,”

    Does this mean no expletive laced tirades?  Sounds like they’re expecting a hot time in Dover

    1. No, it sounds like the public has begun to do some of their much needed homework and begin realizing just what is going on. Vigue and Ripley are getting a small taste of what’s coming, both politically and at the grass root’s level, since they tried to sell this snakeoil project to the public and not telling the public THE WHOLE TRUTH about it. You can bet that the entire State Legislature is going to be sending their own people, not some Party ‘hack’, to report on just what and how hot the reception is that these 2 are gonna get. And since those report’s are gonna be VERY RECENT, you can figure that the light’s are gonna be burning in Augusta’s chamber’s, on both side’s, since both Party’s are gonna have to explain whatever their position’s are to the voter’s during the campaign season. Cianbro got ‘cute’, trying to sneak this whole road project in while the Maine voter’s were trying to figure out LePage. Well, they got caught. And when the Bald Mountain mining reg’s were signed, by both Martin AND LePage, well, the picture only got clearer. Trying to be ‘cute’, and assuming that the other side isin’t as smart or aware as you, is the literal Kiss of Death when it comes to political manipulation being exposed. It’a also been seen as the 1st step in the fall of many a politician who thought that ‘their stuff don’t stink’ and instead ignored the warning sign’s . Guess what ? IT DOES STINK !

  2. Here is one important question to be asked over and over until he honestly answers it.
    How are you going to aquire all the land needed for this project if some people don’t want a road through their property?  
    Have you spoken with State Reps about the State taking land from people on your behalf??

  3. I want to know where the petition is for me to sign to stop a private corporations from building a highway through Maine. and at the Same time one to prevent the distruction of Bald mountain by a large out of State/country corporation…   I guess Irving has it’s fingers in both.

    1. And no wind mills.  We don’t need no stinkin’ electricity.
      LNG?  Nope, don’t need that.
      And no Plum Creek in Greenville.
      And Millinocket don’t need no mill OR a park!

      Keep Maine broke and in the stone age I say…

  4. Dear BDN, I can’t attend. Please do a detailed, factual report that I can read when I get back. Sounds like fun….
