Phil Harriman discusses with Charlie Summers the Energy Choice Act (LD 556), which aims to protect Mainers’ right to choose their home heating fuels. Summers highlights the bill’s importance amidst a $500 million budget hole and criticizes the legislature’s focus on banning single-use shampoo bottles.
