Final oral arguments will be heard by the Supreme Court of Maine this coming Tuesday afternoon at 1pm at the Supreme Judicial Court at 142 Federal St., Portland, ME. No public input will be allowed, but the public is encouraged to attend and witness the summary arguments from both sides. The concerns of the appelates - local resident / land owner Bruce Taylor and Food and Water Watch, as well as the arguments from lawyers for the Maine Public Utilities Commission and the Fryeburg Water Company in defense of the contract approval.
The FWD trustees will be in attendance at the hearing and report their findings at the following Trustee meeting - Monday March 14th, American Legion Hall, Bradley St., Fryeburg. For public reference the FWD trustees have gone on record in opposition to the length and the lack of public input into the terms of this contract. FWD trustees have voiced their belief that the public should be in partnership with corporate interests in a healthy way to balance the interests of all parties and not shut out our community from future use discussion or changes to water access. Read the full text of the FWD letter to the Public Utilities Commission posted below.
