Looks like Guilford is losing another major customer. Noon news on Ch.6 announced the closing of the Georgia Pacific Old Town(ME) paper mill.
350 out of jobs today,and remaining 50 or so,will be gone by early May,when mill is locked up.
Of course "our Spaghetti Vendor",Gov. Baldacci,is promising "help" and miracles(new owner). This guy's scorecard for industrial closings is now rivaling that of previous Governor,"Anquish" King.
Not all his fault,with the "tree huggers" a major player in Maines's politics,Maine's anti business attitude (and high taxes) and the cost of energy and transportation.
Maybe this will help those totally anti Guilford,understand why they are SMART, NOT to invest money into their infrastructure/motive power.
Once the paper mils are gone(NIMBY-enviro-Nazis major targets) there will be NO need for freight railroads in Maine!
