Current guidance requires that approximately $1.25 billion of the funding Maine is expected to receive must be used for expenditures that: (1) are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to COVID–19; (2) were not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020 for the State or government; and (3) were incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020, and ends on December 30, 2020. These significant restrictions, and an inability to specifically use these funds to offset revenue shortfalls, will seriously inhibit Maine’s ability to respond to this crisis. More flexible federal funding will help us continue to provide vital services, prevent further shutdown of key sectors of the state economy and hasten recovery once social distancing measures are relaxed.

  • Annual Philanthropy Report 2019–2020
    Annual Philanthropy Report 2019–2020 42 MAINE LAW MAGAZINE WINTER/SPRING 2021 A Message from the Maine Law Foundation n behalf of the University of Maine School of Law Foundation Board, we write to send our collective appreciation to our donors and fellow alumni for the successful annual campaign recorded in this report. O Maine Law is a small but prolific institution with over 3,900 living alumni. The school has thrived on the support, loyalty, and continuing enthusiasm from so many of us who received our introduction to the law from classrooms on High Street or Deering Avenue during the past 58 years. Our small school has now grown in stature to become – pound for pound – one of Maine’s most influential institutions with numerous societal contributions, both public and private, from the school’s many and diverse graduates and from the scholarship and community engagement of its faculty. Maine Law’s growing stature was recently confirmed when, with the leadership of Chancellor Dannel Malloy (himself a former Boston College Law professor), the University of Maine System’s Board of Trustees directed that the Law School should now report directly to the Chancellor and to the System’s Board of Trustees in parallel to the seven campuses. It was further confirmed when the Chancellor recruited Maine’s respected Chief Justice Leigh Saufley '80 to serve as Dean. The school’s reputation instantly blossomed – as did the recruitment of new students. New applicants have ever stronger qualifications, including higher LSAT and GPA records. Renewed focus on student success, led by one of the newest professors, Greg Bordelon, was evidenced in what may have been an all-time high Maine State Bar Exam passage rate for Maine Law graduates.

  • Legislative Update House and Senate Committee Assignments
    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE HOUSE AND SENATE COM MITTEE ASSIGNMENTS Today joint standing committee assignments for the 128th Legislature were made public by the presiding officers of the Maine House of Representatives and the State Senate. Despite sitting in the minority in the House of Representatives, House Republicans will outsize Democrats on the Inland Fisheries & Wildlife Committee and Marine Resources Committee, and will have parity on the Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry Committee, Insurance & Financial Resources Committee, and the Veterans & Legal Affairs Committee. Governor LePage will be submitting his final biennial budget in early 2017 and it promises to include a number of provisions that will lock Democrats and Republicans into a prolonged period of review, line-item editing, and deal making. The all-important and uber-powerful Appropriations & Financial Affairs Committee will steer the direction of the budget following a vetting and review from each policy committee. Sen. Jim Hamper (R-Oxford) will return as AFA Senate Chair and will also be joined by long-time committee member Sen. Roger Katz (R-Kennebec). In fact, the Republican compliment on the committee will be unchanged from the prior session save for one member, whereas Democrats return with familiar faces and new leaders. Rep. Drew Gattine (D-Westbrook) has left the Health & Human Services Committee to now chair Appropriations and Sen. Cathy Breen (D-Cumberland) will take the one seat allocated to her caucus. However, longtime member and Augusta power broker Rep. John Martin (D- Eagle Lake) will again join the powerful budget writing committee. Please see the following for lists of committee membership. Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry Environment and Natural Resources Sen.

  • Chancellor Update to the Board – Week of January 25, 2021
    Week of January 25 Trustees, COVID, as you well know, is ever-present in our ongoing work. We've conducted more than 10,000 tests of returning residential and out-of-state students and other special populations in the latter part of January to begin the Spring semester on time this past Monday. As of Friday, we were managing 63 known active cases of COVID, 35 of whom are residential students. We've expanded our wastewater testing for increased surveillance of fully 97 percent of our expected student residential population this spring, and, as we reported earlier this month, we're ready to begin weekly testing tomorrow for all faculty, staff, and students expected to have in- person interaction for class or work. Now, in the weeks ahead, and as you may have seen reported at the end of the week, more than 250 nursing students from the University of Maine, the Universities of Maine at Fort Kent and Presque Isle, and the University of Southern Maine will be volunteering to help end the pandemic by participating in Maine’s COVID-19 vaccination deployment. The volunteer opportunities have been created through nursing program innovations and public health and education partnerships across the state. You can see our own public statement from this past Thursday for further details about this critical effort and profiles of some of our nursing students involved in the effort. I continue to be deeply gratified for the effort and resilience displayed throughout our UMS communities both to come back together safely for the Spring semester and to serve the State in the ongoing pandemic fight.

  • 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.
