It's good to see both parties were involved. Good job.

Two former governors who were instrumental in creating the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters conservation area agree with the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests that the area is off limits for the Northern Pass hydroelectric project.

Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and former Republican Sen. Judd Gregg, both of whom also served as the state's chief executive, recently released a jointly written opinion piece. "When we worked together in 2001 and 2002 to protect this land, we imagined towering trees protected for future generations, not transmission towers," they wrote. "We believe the state has a responsibility to actively protect these lands for our children and grandchildren."
