The Honorable Barack Obama the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave The Honorable Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, DC 20500 May 22nd, 2014 Dear President Obama, As public officials concerned about our constituents’ well-being, we thank you for your leadership to date on addressing climate change. We enthusiastically support the Climate Action Plan you have put forward. Climate change threatens the health of our families, our communities and the ecosystems on which we depend, and we are ready to work with and support you and your Administration. Together, we can implement a comprehensive approach to reduce carbon pollution while building resilient communities with strong local economies, reliable and affordable energy choices, and that are well-prepared for the impacts of climate change now and into the future. As you know, the many communities that we represent are already feeling the effects of climate change now. We recognize, and are already seeing the economic and environmental benefits of a shift to clean energy that avoids the harmful emissions that cause global warming. We are also working to protect our communities with resilience strategies, but we also look forward to a strong partnership with the federal government to help us make our communities even stronger. Under your leadership, we can help you achieve the key pillars of your plan to reduce carbon pollution, especially the first-ever national limits on carbon pollution from power plants, increases in the energy efficiency of our built environment, and smarter investments in our country’s renewable energy infrastructure. By committing to clean up power plants with a stakeholder process similar to that which was used for other Clean Air Act standards, you are once again demonstrating your commitment to commonsense solutions that takes the challenge of climate change seriously. This move, combined with the strong efficiency and clean energy goals also outlined in your Climate Action Plan, is key to putting America on a path to a future powered by homegrown clean energy. However, as you have rightly acknowledged, it is not enough just to reduce carbon pollution, we must also prepare and adapt to the impacts that are here today and those that are expected, including stronger and more damaging storms, flooding, heat waves, prolonged drought, more frequent wildfires, and other extremes. Therefore, we applaud your plan’s commitment to identify and remove barriers to climate-resilient investment, to remove policies that increase vulnerabilities. We are particularly supportive of your pledge to provide targeted support and assistance to local governments as we work together to reduce our risk from climate change in a post-Superstorm Sandy world. We are ready to stand up in support of this bold action to ensure our communities and our health are protected and that we are doing our part to take action to fight climate change. Thank you again, Mr. President, for your leadership in addressing the largest environmental crisis of our time.

  • 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.

WINTER In the Senate where the Democrats were predicted to lose the majority, they 2004-2005 held on by just one vote—the same margin they held during the last session.

  • Gardiner Tightens Leash
    Page 1 1 of 119 DOCUMENTS Kennebec Journal October 18, 2018 Thursday Gardiner tightens leash BYLINE: JESSICA LOWELL SECTION: Pg. 1.A ISSN: 07452039 LENGTH: 662 words DATELINE: Augusta, Me. FULL TEXT Gardiner officials are expected to vote on a measure that would tighten up the city's leash law to require that dogs be on leashes in parks and public areas. City officials OK move requiring all dogs leashed GARDINER -- Even as Gardiner elected officials voted Wednesday to impose a citywide leash law, they also agreed to form a committee to recommend revisions to it. That move reflects the difference in interests between those who live in Gardiner's more densely populated areas and those who live in more rural neighborhoods. Since August, city officials have heard from residents about dog attacks and bites in and around downtown Gardiner and at Waterfront Park. As a result, the City Council has been considering a change to the city's ordinance to require dogs to be on leashes unless they are on their owners' property or on the property of someone who permits them to be off the leash. At a public hearing two weeks ago and again Wednesday, Peter Giampetruzzi brought his objec- tions to city officials. "It's a knee-jerk reaction to a singular incident," Giampetruzzi said. "It's an erosion of my liberty and a deteri- oration of my quality of life in Gardiner." He noted that the ordinance would restrict the actions of law-abiding dog owners and would be ignored by those who were not responsible.

    Maine State Legislature Augusta, Maine 04333 June 21, 2018 The Honorable Susan Collins The Honorable Angus King The Honorable Chellie Pingree The Honorable Bruce Poliquin United State Congress Washington, DC Dear Maine Congressional Delegation: We, a bipartisan group of lawmakers in the 1281h Maine Legislature, ask that you advocate in the strongest possible terms to address the economic damage that will inevitably occur through the targeting of Maine lobster in a trade war with China. China is one ofour largest and most important markets for Maine lobster meat. Retaliatory tariffs proposed on lobster meat imported to China from Maine, the nation's largest lobster­ producing state, will do great harm to our state. Our $1.5 billion lobster industry is critical to our state's economy. This punitive action puts at risk the livelihoods ofthe many thousands oflobster men and women and the many thousands more who work in lobster-related industries, all of whom depend on their work in the industry to suppo11 their families. Whole coastal communities will be devastated. The economic hardship that will result must be prevented. We appreciate that you have raised the issue with the United States Trade Representative. We respectfully request that you continue that effort and take every additional step necessary to address this tariff proposal that would devastate our lobster and related industries. Thank you foryour consideration ofthis request, continued commitment to Maine's coastal communities and support of our lobster industry. Sincerely, �

  • Hampton Roads Mayors to Discuss Violence, Public Safety in Facebook Live Forum on Monday, June 28Th
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 24, 2021 Hampton Roads Mayors to Discuss Violence, Public Safety in Facebook Live Forum on Monday, June 28th Hampton Roads mayors will continue their discussion on public safety with a Mayor’s Forum on Monday, June 28, at 7 p.m. on Facebook Live. Portsmouth Mayor Shannon Glover will participate in this second Forum which will be hosted by Hampton Mayor Donnie Tuck. The first Mayors’ Forum was held on April 12. In addition to Mayor Glover, Newport News Mayor McKinley Price, Chesapeake Mayor Rick West, Norfolk Mayor Kenny Alexander, and Virginia Beach Mayor Bobby Dyer have confirmed that they will attend. Suffolk Mayor Mike Duman, who attended the Forum in April, is unable to attend on Monday. The April discussion reached more than 5,000 viewers and drew 1,000 interactions. It can be viewed here (youtube.com/watch?v=mQCqksEmOyE). Much of the discussion involved preventing violence by focusing on programs and activities aimed at teens and young adults, primarily Black males, who are disproportionally affected by violence. Some of the topics discussed were mentoring, job training, and employment. Since the April forum, the mayors have worked with Anthony Smith, Executive Director of Cities United, a national network focused on eliminating violence in American cities related to African American men and boys.
