FRYEBURG, Maine — As Maine went, so did the people of Fryeburg, whose vote pattern mimicked that of the state in terms of three ballot questions. In addition, the town held a referendum on Sunday liquor sales. Following the vote, people can now officially go out for drinks in town all weekend long.
Other ballot questions in the Maine elections included the Central Maine Power Corridor. Voters across Maine defeated, 60 percent to 40 percent, that corridor by voting yes to ban it on Question 1. Fryeburg results mirrored those statewide percentages.Question 1 read: “Citizen Initiative: Do you want to ban the construction of high-impact electric transmission lines in the Upper Kennebec Region and to require the Legislature to approve all other such projects anywhere in Maine, both retroactively to 2020, and to require the Legislature, retroactively to 2014, to approve by a two-thirds vote such projects using public land?”
