  • 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.

In the story, Verla stated that she didn’t hear a bird sing in the park for three years because they had all been shot.

  • Dominion Increased Political Spending While Pushing for Law July 10, 2018
    Dominion increased political spending while pushing for law July 10, 2018 | Dominion Energy's tenfold increase in spending to influence Virginia politicians was prompted by the spread of "fake news and propaganda perpetuated by anti-energy groups," a company spokesman said. Recently filed disclosure forms show the state's biggest electric utility and most politically powerful company spent more than $1 million on lobbyists, entertainment, meals and communications from May 2017 to the end of April 2018. That's about 10 times what the company said it spent in last year's filing. The spending came during a period when the company successfully pushed through legislation that could lead to substantial increases to electric bills Dominion spokesman David Botkins said the company's stepped up "education outreach" was needed "to break through the fake news and propaganda perpetuated by anti-energy groups." Most of the increase in reported spending was due to a boost in communications spending, which the company said totaled nearly $700,000. Dominion's media blitz while lawmakers were debating the bill included a TV ad that ran during the Super Bowl. Dominion had 22 registered lobbyists this last session, a mix of full-time employees and well- connected hired guns. Dominion hired lobbyists from McGuireWoods, Reed Smith and Williams Mullen, three of the top lobbying firms in Virginia. The regulated monopoly also hired David Hallock, a close political advisor to Gov. Ralph Northam, as an outside lobbyist. The $1 million figure likely does not include the full scope of the company's efforts, as Virginia law requires only that a narrow definition of lobbying expenses be made public.

Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalmaine.com/lisbon_town_reports Androscoggin River Trail Pee Wee Football Champs School Spirit Week This year’s Town Report is dedicated to Chief David Brooks Serving the citizens of Lisbon for 42 Years Chief Brooks began his career in Lisbon in 1974 and was appointed to serve as Police Chief in 1980 at 36 years old. Since his retirement on June 30, 2016 he and his wife Lynn are enjoying the extra time with family and friends. Scott Stewart said Chief Brooks was an excellent mentor and helped him get into law enforce- ment. Chief Brooks indicated he wore his uniform 94.5% of the time during his tenure here. He reported public safety needs were not declining and that there had been an increase need for services since 2014. With calls on the rise, he always pro- vided the best service possible with the equipment and person- nel available. Chief Brooks brought many fed- eral dollars to Lisbon which pur- chased equipment and funded many special programs, like the $1,500 we received to run the Buckle Up-No Excuses Seat Belt Enforcement and Education Campaign or the $3,900 for the 2016 Evidence Based Impaired Driving High Visibility Enforce- ment Grant Award. Lisbon was recognized as the 12th safest Community in Maine to live, due in large part to the leadership and employ- ees in our public safety departments and the safety initiatives and improvements we have made over the years.

  • Decision on Motion for Preliminary Injunction
    STATE OF MAINE SUPERIOR COURT KENNEBEC, ss. CIVIL ACTION DOCKET NO. CV-20-29 DCCC and DSCC, Plaintiffs V. DECISION ON MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION MATTHEW DUNLAP Maine Secretary of State, Defendant INTRODUCTION AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY This matter is before the court on the Plaintiffs' Motion for a Preliminary Injunction seeking to enjoin the Secretary of State from utilizing the provisions of Maine's Ballot Order Statute (21-A M.R.S. §601(2)(B)), in the upcoming general election to be held in November 2020. The Plaintiffs contend that 21-A M.R.S. §60I(2)(B), which requires the names of candidates on the ballot to be arranged alphabetically with the last name first, is invalid under the United States and Maine Constitutions. The Plaintiffs are the DCCC and the DSCC. They are, respectively, the national congressional and senatorial committees of the Democratic Party. See 52 U.S.C. §30101(14). The missions of these Plaintiffs are the election of Democratic candidates to the United States House of Representatives and the Unites States Senate. On February 21, 2020, the Plaintiffs commenced this action challenging the constitutional validity of 21-A M.R.S. §601(2)(B) on the ground that it arbitrarily and illegally grants ballot order preference to those candidates whose last names begin with a letter early in the alphabet. In this particular case, the Plaintiffs allege Page 1 of 19 that, as a result of section 601(2)(B), incumbent Senator Susan Collins has an unfair and illegal advantage over presumed Democratic candidate Speaker of the House Sara Gideon solely on the basis that her last name begins with a letter earlier in the alphabet.
