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.

  • 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.

  • The Honorable Ryan Zinke US Secretary of the Interior Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240
    The Honorable Ryan Zinke US Secretary of the Interior Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240 Dear Secretary Zinke, As a united group of 227 state legislators representing 17 coastal states, we are writing to you to oppose the Proposed National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2019-2024 (Proposed Leasing Program). This proposal seeks to exponentially expand oil and gas exploration, production, and drilling in the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Gulf of Mexico, which for many of us, represents the first time in decades our coasts would be exposed to such development. While these oil and gas reserves are technically recoverable, we urge you to consider the repercussions, as you have done so in Florida, to local and regional economies and ecosystems. We are encouraged by your recent action to remove Florida’s coasts from the Proposed Leasing Program, a decision based on potential threats that offshore drilling would impose on coastal tourism, the recreational economy, and the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend upon it. Given that one state has been removed from the program, we strongly urge you to grant other states the same opportunity to protect their economy and coastal and marine resources. Coastal tourism, fisheries, shipping, and defense are not only critical economic drivers in Florida, but are the underpinning of all U.S. coastal states. NOAA reports that coastal communities alone provide 45 percent of our nation’s gross domestic product. Furthermore, California, Oregon, and Washington combined represent the fifth largest economy in the world, a level of prosperity that would not be achieved without their ocean-dependent industries.

  • 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.

As working people, we look for the Legislature to: • reflect our core values of fairness, solidarity and economic justice; • do everything within its power to support workers and their families; • and take proactive measures to create a just economy. The Maine AFL-CIO is a statewide federation of more than 160 local labor unions in Maine. We represent more than 40,000 Maine workers and retirees delivering public services or working at paper mills, shipyards, hospitals, construction sites, utilities, and in manyother industries. We represent these workers and their families at the Legislature, and we organize 2018 Maine AFL-CIO COPE Convention together year round for workers’ rights and economic justice. This legislative scorecard seeks to capture the votes that were of the greatest importance to working people in the second session of the 128th Maine Legislature (2018). It provides information on those bills and lets you know how your legislators voted. Our Legislative Committee and Executive Board carefully reviewed all the bills that came before the State Legislature and selected which bills to work on and to score. We hope you find the scorecard useful and that you will use it to hold your state legislators accountable.
