Gov. Janet Mills wants to roll back protections for the sand dunes that partially make up the state’s preferred site for a landmark offshore wind terminal.
The Mills bill shows that the state is “making the mistake of designating a preferred location, and then trying to find the reasoning to make it happen,” Kyla Bennett, the science policy director for the Massachusetts-based Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, which opposes the site, wrote in an email calling the new measure “despicable.”
