Highlighted within are the achievements of our students and the many public events organized by our faculty and academic programs. This has been an important year at USM. The university continues to grow despite decreasing numbers of high school graduates in our aging Dean Adam Tuchinsky state. We are particularly grateful to the voters in our state that approved a bond package that will make possible a significant investment in our Volume 12, Fall 2018 Fall 12, Volume aging facilities, particularly on the Portland campus. The confidence that the voters in our state demonstrated in the importance of public higher education sends important signals to the philanthropic sector. Of central importance to our college is the proposed Center for the Arts, which has already received a substantial gift to begin the planning process. The Center will be funded entirely by private philanthropy, but with bond funding for a new campus center and public-private partnerships to fund residence halls on the Portland campus, we are confident that USM will be able to recruit students from throughout our neighboring regions.

  • Maine League of Women Voters Concurrence Study Instant Runoff Voting
    Maine League of Women Voters Concurrence Study Instant Runoff Voting The Maine League of Women Voters is asking its members whether or not they concur with a study done by the Minnesota League of Women Voters on Alternative Voting Systems, endorsing the use of Instant Runoff Voting (also known as Ranked Choice Voting) as an acceptable alternative voting method. LWVME began looking at the issue of IRV four years ago and reviewed studies done by state Leagues in Minnesota, Washington, and California. Diane Russell, state legislator from Portland, gave a talk about IRV at our state convention in 2009 and Terry Bouricius, of FairVote, was a guest speaker at the Quad States workshop in May, 2010. As we move into the final phase of concurrence, LWVME will hold meetings in Portland, Brunswick, and Ellsworth to first inform members and to then ask for a vote. In addition to the information contained in this Concurrence Study, information on IRV is available on our web site at www.lwvme.org. INTRODUCTION The League of Women Voters believes that democratic government depends upon the informed and active participation of its citizens. The League believes in representative government and in the individual liberties established in the Constitution of the United States. The League works to promote an open governmental system that is representative, accountable and responsive. The League of Women Voters believes that every citizen should be protected in the right to vote. The League has a history of working to improve our voting systems and believes that increased accessibility is essential to ensuring a representative electoral process and every citizen’s right to vote.

  • College Baseball Foundation January 30, 2008 Boyd, Thank You For
    College Baseball Foundation P.O. Box 6507 Phone: 806-742-0301 x249 Lubbock TX 79493-6507 E-mail: [email protected] January 30, 2008 Boyd, Thank you for participating in the balloting for the College Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2008 Induction Class. We appreciate your willingness to help. In the voters packet you will find the official ballot, an example ballot, and the nominee biographies: 1. The official ballot is what you return to us. Please return to us no later than Mon- day, February 11. 2. The example ballot’s purpose is to demonstrate the balloting rules. Obviously the names on the example ballot are not the nominee names. That was done to prevent you from being biased by the rankings you see there. 3. Each nominee has a profile in the biography packet. Some are more detailed than others and reflect what we received from the institutions and/or obtained in our own research. The ballot instructions are somewhat detailed, so be sure to read the directions at the top of the official ballot. Use the example ballot as a reference. Please try to consider the nominees based on their collegiate careers. In many cases nominees have gone on to professional careers but keep the focus on his college career as a player and/or coach. The Veterans (pre-1947) nominees often lack biographical details relative to those in the post-1947 categories. In those cases, the criteria may take on a broader spectrum to include the impact they had on the game/history of college baseball, etc.

Kilbreth, Esq. to the Ethics Commission re Portland Mayoral Complaint. The Unite Portland PAC was created for one purpose — to raise and spend nearly $50,000 to expressly advocate for the defeat of Ethan Strimling in the 2019 Portland mayoral election.' UP was created to make independent expenditures and that is all. For UP to now claim that until late October, their principal officers did not understand they had to file independent expenditure reports does not pass the straight face test. More money is spent on the Portland municipal election than on any other municipal election in Maine and nearly all races for the State House. It is crucial that the Ethics Commission levy a serious penalty in this case to set an example for future campaigns in our biggest city that it is not okay to run an express advocacy campaign directly against a candidate and fail to disclose what they are spending money on and who they are paying to do it.
