  • How Trump Could Help Decide Who Wins Control of the Maine Senate
    Page 1 1 of 76 DOCUMENTS Bangor Daily News (Maine) September 25, 2018 Tuesday How Trump could help decide who wins control of the Maine Senate BYLINE: Michael Shepherd BDN Staff LENGTH: 1492 words Good morning from Augusta, where new sexual assault allegations against President Donald Trump's Su- preme Court nominee and confusion about the job status of the deputy attorney general got us thinking about where the president is most and least popular in Maine. We sorted the results of the 2016 presidential election between Trump, a Republican, and Democrat Hillary Clinton by Maine Senate district. It reveals some parallels to national polling showing that under Trump, Re- publicans are increasingly struggling in suburban areas that they have held in the past. Maine is lukewarm on Trump as a whole. A recent poll from Suffolk University found a 41 percent approval rating for the president here, which effectively matched past polls from Morning Consult that put the state near the middle of the pack nationally on Trump. The subtle divisions in his approval could be a key factor in elections here. Some of the most interesting ones come when thinking about control of the Maine Senate, which is controlled by Republicans who hold just a 18-17 lead on Democrats. The smallest switch could flip it. There are eight districts where Trump won a majority of votes. The one where he was most popular is held by a Democrat. Trump, who won the 2nd Congressional District but lost Maine at large to Clinton, only won majorities in eight of Maine's 35 Senate districts.

T Chairwoman Patsy Crockett, of Augusta, and Commissioners Nancy Rines, of Gardiner, and George Jabar, of Waterville, all supported the proposal, which originated with a request from the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. Fuller (1833-1910), an Augusta native who was admitted to the bar in Kennebec County, was chief justice from 1888 until his death at his summer home in Sorrento, Maine. He sided with the majority of the U.S. Supreme Court when it voted 7-1 to uphold institutionalized Southern racial segregation in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision, which set a template for repression of The Melville Fuller statue will be moved off Black Americans for the next six decades. The court’s 1954 Brown v.

Kennebec County Administrator Robert Devlin said the county has received dozens of letters from people advocating the statue’s removal. Crockett said others have expressed similar opinions by email, Facebook messages, and phone calls. The commissioners, meeting remotely via Zoom videoconference, did not decide where the statue would go or when it would be moved.
