Dear Friend, Since we started our spring fundraising campaign, we’ve heard from about 80 readers, making donations ranging from $10 to $500. If you’ve been thinking about making a contribution but aren’t sure that you can make an impact, rest assured that the answer is YES. Every dollar we receive through this campaign goes directly to support newsgathering. Newsgathering like our reporting over many months into trash and where to put it. BDN readers across Maine now know far more about waste management than they ever thought they would – and a company poised to purchase a troubled Hampden trash plant pulled out from the deal after our reporting brought to light how the firm had benefited monetarily while failing to reopen shuttered mills as promised. Will you contribute $25 today? |
