Looking back over the just-ended legislative session, it seems to me that one of the greatest accomplishments, gone largely unnoticed, is the law to establish the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. This law resulted from diverse and dedicated groups working together to create a design that works for Maine and the region. A legislative sponsor of the law and the legislator most responsible for getting the proposal through the complex legislative process was South Portland’s Larry Bliss.

Representative Bliss undoubtedly saw this proposal as one of the critical steps Maine should take to cut our state’s contribution to global warming. Many years from now, when we write the final chapters on global warming, Representative Bliss’ work to get this significant law enacted will be identified as the major transformation in this region away from the danger of global warming. I, for one, thank Representative Larry Bliss for his dedicated, untiring effort on behalf of South Portland and our region.
