WERU News Report 3/5/13

Producer/Host: Amy Browne

Continuing our coverage of the proposed East-West Highway/Corridor, we’re going to start with an interview with Chris Buchanan, a statewide coordinator for “Stop the East West Corridor”, and Maine coordinator with “Defending Water for Life in Maine”. Chris will give us an update on the project, and the many unanswered questions that concern opponents. Later on today’s News Report, we’ll hear how Darryl Brown, the East-West highway project manager for Cianbro corporation, responded to questions at presentations in Calais and Eastport in January. Cianbro has been the most vocal proponent of the project, while refusing to disclose exactly what their role would be and how they stand to gain financially. Our thanks to Jane Crosen for recording the presentations for WERU.
