A bill that would prohibit companies owned by foreign governments from spending money to influence ballot-question campaigns in Maine advanced in the state Senate and appeared poised for final passage Tuesday.
The measure is aimed squarely at Hydro-Quebec, the Canadian company that has spent $10 million to build public support for a 145-mile electricity transmission line across western Maine built by Central Maine Power. The bill cleared the Senate, 23-11, after passing in the House of Representatives on a vote of 87-54.

MONTREAL The Canadian government has given its final approval for construction and operation of power line to serve as a conduit for hydropower to reach the power grid in New England, officials said Friday.
The Canada Energy Regulator, which must sign off on international utility projects, issued a permit Thursday allowing work north of the U.S. border that’s necessary for the $1 billion New England Clean Energy Connect.
