Concerning Friends of Maines Mountains v AG of Maine, Wind hack, JaNET Mills


Mills is a highly biased democrat party AG appointee and strong pro-wind advocate. 
This would appear to be biased political payback for the appointment of LePage's general council Carlie Mclean to the PUC who recently helped cause a new unbiased look at wind power contracts to occur in Maine.
Maine is a dirty little state politically. She forces a small organization she dislikes to be held to the highest ethical standards,at the same time she allows a company like First Wind to control the legislative process and gives passes to illegal process by the wind cartel in the state.She gives a free pass to clear conflicts of interest and potential graft of people like ex-PUC member Kurt Adams and his First Wind employment,which were concurrent,and then refuses to answer letters sent to her by anti-wind citizen groups requesting her to establish ethics standards for scoundrel companies like First Wind in Maine.
She is a unrepentant left wing pro wind hack and she is indeed the one deserving an investigation into her actions as AG .
LePage is right on wanting a new method of determining an AG in Maine. He has cut her budget before , and he should cut it more now.
Maine needs an AG that supports the public interest and the constitution, and not the wind lobby.

Larger issue to me, is Janet Mills will not hear of anything the wind farm cabal and their sycophants in Augusta want to do to the state of ME. But she is quick to investigate an anti wind farm group. We need an outside investigation. Since we more than likely can't have the piece to the puzzle, nostalgically called justice, we'll have to do it ourselves. Look to the family members/ cohorts who would have something to gain from knocking out a strong anti wind voice. Hint..look for democrats.I write that because without the stimulus bill, we would not have Stetson II, D E Shaw and Madison Dearborn made significant money for Larry Summers and Rahm Emmanuel..Obama's first administration. And quite a few others in the state house...the tentacles of this hydra are far reaching. My former state legislator's house and lots of rental property were all financed through Deutsche Bank out of Germany. Way up here in the boonies. Deutsche Bank has been fined for illegal cap and trade type infractions in several European countries.

One anti-wind organization spending an entire year sniping at another anti-wind organization, to the point of contacting the Attorney General AND chasing press coverage. What a sad, immature and utterly foolish waste of energy. I hope we anti-wind folks can recover from this monumental blunder.

Alice, it looks like Richard McDonald, Michael Bond and SavingMaine.org have been badgering the AG to investigate FMM. An unbelievable ill-advised and cannibalistic maneuver. Hard to even fathom.

Pat Ledlie, 

So now you know why Janet Mills is considered a political hack by many. She has abused her political appointment to favor corporate over citizens rights.

I agree with LePage that the AG should be an elected position and not appointed by the legislature which has led to political abuses (hack creation) in Maine, as we are seeing . Maine has never amended its constitution to allow direct election of the AG like most other states.

To me ,Janet Mills is a despicable political hack because she has breached her constitutional oath to uphold the law for the citizens of Maine upon assuming her office . She has become a shill for corporate wind in Maine by her actions.

The breaches of legal process and law she has overseen in Maine on this wind issue ,giving blind support to the wind cartel and their “ greenwashed “ political supporters over the pleas of honest concerned and affected citizens ,is despicable.

I know personally that she has even refused to respond to lawyers concerns on this issue who have represented citizens groups . She refuses any ethics laws be applied to wind companies in Maine, WHY?.

People of Janet Mills ilk have become the empowered hacks of the political party in power.

Their  blind loyalty to the concept of wind in lieu of what wind is in reality is heinous.

What is more despicable than the uselessness of industrial wind for me is the outrageous disrespect for the citizens of Maine and the constitution of Maine that people like Mills represent.

She has allowed her ideology and blind support of the wind lobby to trump the law of the people in Maine.

Dora Mills stated publicly there were no year round homes near Stetson I and II. Just camps. So, the state did not even acknowledge our existence. There was not even a public hearing for Stetson II. Word of mouth around here was that Stetson II was approved when Stetson I was anyway. After Stetson I was permitted, there was a public meeting to discuss transmission lines. One of the First Wind spokespeople mentioned 55 turbines . At the time , only 38 had been permitted. Then he back tracked . ..inadvertently told the truth. And the spokesperson from First Wind was quoted in an article for BDN that they did not have the money to build Stetson II. It wasn't until they were funded by the federal govt. through the stimulus bill that Stetson II was built. (bet there was no money for decommissioning) This was when Larry Summers was in Obama's administration and also marketing director for D E Shaw. Good 'ol boy system on steroids.

Don't forget her sister Dora and her public record of bias. What she didn't accomplish as CDC director and in newspaper article and testimony against Maine Citizen's petition for more adequate protection against industrial wind turbine acoustic pollution, she made up for as co-primary author of the 17th review, the MA DEP-DPH 'expert' panel on health impacts. And a supplement that fails to acknowledge the tremendous difference in rotor size and height since Denmark grew their LAND-based wind energy and its lack of success once it became industrial/for the grid, and she totally ignores setbacks and noise limits existant then and since found to be inadequate in a Danish survey.

Friends of Maine Mountains provides cogent, rational critique and testimony, and that is intolerable to the AG, industry and political backers. 'Bias' about particulars may be difficult to prove, but the theme is not.

She has been called (by several on all sides) a Genocidistic person by nature, and has ruled in such a manner on occasions. Currently against the Penobscot Nation, she is fighting both their claim settlement of 1980 and a higher standard of water quality for the Penobscot River and Maine which effects even the quality of our seafood near the Penobscot bay.

I didn't know that.  I guess I haven't been paying enough attention and was swayed by her standing up to LePage.  Thanks for setting me straight.

Janet Mills and her office, under Baldaci , did everything but laugh at complaints of the steam roller way of doing business re. wind farms in ME. The entire office was extremely unethical and unprofessional.Even then, turning a blind eye to real crime and investigating thoroughly political enemies . That is the type of person who conducts business with the ruthlessness of the mafia. Which coincidentally the founder of First Wind was involved in.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
