Journalism, Truth and Healthy Communities
Journalism, Truth and Healthy Communities Healthy people, healthy businesses, healthy governments — healthy communities — are all best informed and engaged by independent community journalists who examine school budgets, expose scandals, question practices and politics, scrutinize environmental practices, who champion good and who dare to challenge fear and falsehoods. The work we do in our newsrooms enhances community life, it exposes mental and social health care problems and brings solutions forward, it relentlessly exposes overspending in our governments, and highlights the great people who live and work all around us. Communities are healthier, more engaged, more resilient and better able to thrive when informed by truth.

The boards wobble beneath her. She clutches the railing in fear and hangs on to whomever is there to help. “Somebody has to be with her,” said Hope Priola, Gray’s granddaughter. -

Kennebec Current Discovering, Preserving, and Disseminating Kennebec County History Since 1891
Kennebec Current Discovering, preserving, and disseminating Kennebec County history since 1891 Volume 30 Issue 6 KENNEBEC HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER November–December 2020 Melville Fuller Statue’s Fate in County Commissioners’ Hands he period for public comment about the statue of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Melville Fuller in front of the Kennebec County Courthouse in Augusta lapsed on Dec. 10, Tand now the county commissioners are expected to decide early in 2021 whether to honor a Maine Supreme Judicial Court request to consider moving the statue off that spot. Maine’s high court justices wrote to the commissioners August 5, citing Fuller’s involvement with the U.S. court’s now-discredited 1896 Plessey v. Ferguson decision. That ruling affirmed the principle of allowing states to enact and enforce “separate but equal” laws that mandated the segregation of Blacks from the rest of the population when using public transportation, schools, recreational facilities, and retail businesses. The court overturned the Plessey ruling in 1954 in deciding the Brown v. Board of Education case. The Kennebec Historical Society has taken no position on the statue’s placement, but it has many links to the controversy. First, the society’s president, Patsy Crockett, also is the county commissioners’ chairwoman. Second, a society member who took part in a December 1 public hearing on the matter suggested moving the statue to the historical society’s property at 107 Winthrop Street — a mere six blocks west of the courthouse. Some other hearing participants backed the idea. And third, the society’s headquarters building was built in the 1830s for Henry Weld Fuller Jr., who was Melville Fuller’s uncle. -

There are many reasons this is the right policy for Maine; let me highlight three. First, the federal government will provide almost all of the funding to cover the cost of expansion from 2015-19.

Citizens Book 2005 (Mac)
Tips for the Citizen Lobbyist Maine’s citizen legislature is made up mostly of people who truly want to do what will be best for the state. Some legislators are certainly motivated by partisan ideology, others by personal philosophy, some by the needs of their district and most by a combina- tion of factors. All legislators are forced to make hard decisions about a wide spectrum of issues, and none are experts on all the issues that they must address, especially now that term limits restrict legislative service. Your legislators can only represent you well if they understand your interests and the effect their decisions will have on your community. Professional lobbyists are often the primary source of information that state legislators have on important issues. This “Tips” section intends to level the playing field and help you communicate effectively with your lawmakers. A face-to-face conversation with your legislator (either at home in your district or at the Capitol in Augusta) is usually the best way to influence his or her position. Other direct contact – such as a phone call or letter – is also effective, but less so than a personal visit. E-mail can be an important lobbying tool, but is generally less effective than more personal means of contact. Testifying at legislative hearings and letters to the editor can also make a difference. A combination of contacts including a face-to-face meeting is usually the best strategy. Yours is the most important voice in the legislative process, but only if you make it heard. Visiting Your Legislator The most effective means of communicating with your leg- Be Prompt and Patient - It is common that your legislator islators is through a face-to-face conversation.
