American Rivers says dams owned by Brookfield Renewable Energy threaten the survival of salmon and other fish in the Kennebec, Penobscot and Union rivers.
The Kennebec Coalition and the Conservation Law Foundation say Brookfield Renewable Partners must do more to project the endangered Atlantic salmon at four Brookfield dams from Waterville to Skowhegan.
Despite what their leaders say, Republican legislators have not been supportive "every step of the way."
When asked to share their aspirations for the new year, Waterville-area officials touched on topics like economic development, good health and helping those in need, Amy Calder writes.
Contrary to the opinion expressed in a recent column, it has been Democrats and the Mills administration who have been trying to remove the the dam all along, the GOP Senate leader writes.
