Wind Meeting Draws Protestors

While the Governor was inside praising the prospects of wind power in the State, several protesters picketed outside. Portland Press Herald:

"He spoke about the importance of energy independence, as well. 'We've been through too many contrived (oil) shortages, real or imagined, that are outside of our control,' Baldacci said.

He acknowledged the protesters who began to gather outside the civic center about 10 a.m.

'Everybody needs to be heard from,' he said, 'but we need to take action.'"
