A Determined Man vs. the Military-Industrial Complex
The Peace Report
(March 19, 2018) — Bruce Gagnon has been fighting General Dynamics head-to-head and it looks like the match will go a full 15 rounds as neither side is giving up an inch.
Bruce has been opposed to Bath Iron Works (owned by General Dynamics) for years because they make warships, Aegis Destroyers, Zumwalt’s, and more when they could be making sustainable technologies to improve society, not kill it.
Maine needs more jobs, and converting BIW would benefit everyone. That’s his message.
The following is a database for this actions against the new bill, LD1781, that General Dynamics is pushing to get yet another tax break from the citizens of Maine: a $60 million tax break over the next 10 years.
That money goes straight to the pockets of the CEO, board, and shareholders of General Dynamics, it doesn’t go into the pockets of Mainers.
