Moosabec straw poll nixes rockets 30-1
by Nancy Beal
On December 7, 321 people from Beals, Jonesport and adjacent towns showed up at the Beals town office to take part in a straw poll. The ballot was simple: “bluShift Aerospace or any other rocket company” — “in favor of” or “opposed to.” At the end of the day, the vote was 305 opposed, 15 in favor and one “maybe.”
