Sounds good. Your turn. Here are just a few things I found in a quick search proving that the last election was about Laidlaw and the majority spoke out with their votes. I expect the same this time around. I know some believe the State will be ram this down Berlin’s throat no matter how much the majority don’t want it. I believe the State would have an easy time denying it if the application were ever filed. That’s because I believe there are way to many hurtles for this project to overcome, and that will be it’s demise. IMO Not that the majority doesn’t want it.


For support, they point to the results of the last city election. That’s when the incumbent mayor who supported the Laidlaw plan lost the race by a wide margin.

Debate over mill site ends reign of Mayor Bob. A debate over the future of the mill site developed. A group of downtown merchants urged the city council to fight efforts to locate a biomass plant or other heavy industry on the site. But Mayor Robert Danderson and a majority of the council argued the site is zoned industrial and privately owned by North American Dismantling. Furthermore, Danderson said the city could use the tax revenue that a biomass plant would bring. Frustrated, the group formed Citizens for a New Vision and took their cause to the voters in November. The result was an overwhelming defeat for Danderson.

Danderson, who was at the helm through some of the city's darkest times, received just 585 votes to Bertrand's 1,777.
