Mark Wren’s Op-Ed piece, “With LNG, Maine ought to fight for fishermen’s rights,” (BDN, Jan. 11), was much needed and totally correct. With LNG, again we have out-of-state companies dictating to us what they want and ignoring Washington County residents and its natural resources.

LNG will destroy more jobs and businesses than it creates, if it really creates any. And Washington County residents will receive nothing except higher taxes.

Why aren’t our state and federal legislators helping in the fight against LNG?
