Poliquin: Letter taking credit for saving jobs sent in error

6 years ago

A spokesman for Republican Rep. Bruce Poliquin says a letter taking credit for saving jobs at a mill that later closed was sent to constituents “in error.”

The spokesman tells the Morning Sentinel that Poliquin and his staff apologize for the mistake.

In the letter, dated Sept. 20, Poliquin says he fought against Canadian paper subsidies that harmed Maine businesses. Poliquin says thanks to such pressure, the International Trade Commission determined the subsidies were unfair.
