Question 7: Maine Bond Issue
Do you favor a $7,000,000 bond issue to facilitate the growth of marine businesses and commercial enterprises that create jobs and improve the sustainability of the State’s marine economy and related industries through capital investments, to be matched by at least $7,000,000 in private and other funds?”

Comment:
I voted yes for this but I wonder if I made a mistake?
How can you "expand marine businesses" while "improving sustainability"?
The waters are already over fished???
This appears to be nothing but double talk.
I voted yes for one reason only, not more jobs... but the word "sustainability" if it means creating jobs to clean the trash out of the sea then yes! If it means creating more jobs fishing over fished waters then definitely not!
Can someone please explain this? Did I do the right thing voting yes on this bond?
