The mayor of Calais says his state and this Province need to work together to realize their energy and industrial goals. Vinton Cassidy tells us he is strongly in favour of the proposed LNG terminal in Maine which would bring tanker traffic through Passamaquoddy Bay. The provincial and federal governments have said they won't allow the development to take place but  Cassidy says if we scratch their backs, they'll scratch ours.

 The provincial government recently announced an energy corridor going through Maine carrying power transmission and natural gas lines to New England markets.
