AUGUSTA – Governor Paul R. LePage has announced he will hold his next town halls in Boothbay Harbor and Greenville. On Wednesday, July 6, Governor LePage will deliver remarks in Boothbay Harbor about moving Maine forward and answer questions from residents. The Governor will be in…

Though this is in Washington State, given the lack of any massive amount of remaining Maine forest for a company such as Weyerhaeuser and knowing its "Record of Willful Environmental Destruction" ,  I have to wonder if their intent of purchase from Plum Creek and others in Maine is for the purpose of leasing to RES and…

Rep. Ben Chipman defeats Rep. Diane Russell and Dr. Charles Radis in a primary for the District 27 state Senate seat.

Through May 30, Russell had raised more than $89,700, compared to the nearly $13,000 raised by Chipman and the $12,700 raised by Radis. Russell spent heavily in the closing days, shelling out about $17,000 in the final week for direct mailers, palm cards and “persuasion calls and texts,” compared to the nearly $2,800 spent by…
