“We’re a blue state, so we need to … implement ways to improve infrastructure and health and combat climate change.”This month, a climate superfund bill was introduced in Rhode Island.
On Wednesday, a superfund bill in Maine was voted out of committee and will proceed to a full vote in the state Senate.
She sees it as an example of what the effort to “make polluters pay” could address.
