WindAction | Gov Mills vetoes bill to attract offshore wind development, citing labor requirements

Gov. Janet Mills has vetoed her first bill of the 131st Legislature, a measure to establish visual impact standards for future offshore wind projects, which originated from her own office. In her letter to lawmakers, Mills said she vetoed L.D. 1847 because the Legislature failed to recall the bill at her request after it was amended to require that all projects have project labor agreements, which she does not support. .But this requirement, she said, was a step too far because more than 90% of workers in Maine’s construction industry – which would compete for these jobs – are not unionized.
