Bill Introduced to Turn Over Acadia National Park to Maine

WLBZ reports that Rep. Henry Joy of Crystal has introduced a bill demanding that Acadia National Park be turned over to the State of Maine. The bill is aimed at blocking Roxanne Quimby’s proposed Maine Woods National Park. Jym St. Pierre of RESTORE-The Maine Woods, the group seeking to establish a new national park in northern Maine, said Joy has a history of putting in silly legislative bills. He called Joy’s move “political posturing.”
