An Act To Authorize a General Fund Bond Issue To Support Maine's Natural Resource-based Economy (2012)
The Legislature authorized a $5 million bond for the Land for Maine’s Future (LMF) program. The bond helps protect working farms, forests and waterfronts that are the backbone of Maine’s economy. LMF has an outstanding record of success protecting Maine’s natural legacy and a history of bipartisan support. Many legislators supported the bond this year in the hope that some LMF funds will be used to protect deer wintering habitat.
