Woodsome 3 State House Station Augusta, ME 04333-0003 Senate of (207) 287-1505 Maine Senate District 33 Dear Friends and Neighbors, Let me begin by thanking you for allowing me the honor of serving you in the Maine Senate. I am humbled that you have put your trust in me for a second term and can assure you I will continue to work tirelessly on your behalf. This is a brief recap of the 127th Legislature, as well as my hopes for the upcoming 128th Legislature, which convened in December. Last year we continued the work of reforming our state’s welfare system and achieved the long sought-after goal of banning the purchase of alcohol, tobacco and lottery tickets with welfare benefits. While there is more work to be done, I believe these efforts will help to deter such abuse of the system and help ensure that benefits are going to those who truly need them. The Legislature also worked in a bipartisan fashion to begin addressing the drug crisis affecting our state. We approved putting 10 new drug enforcement agents on the street, as well as provided funding for treatment programs and drug use prevention efforts. I believe such a comprehensive approach is essential and I look forward to continuing to address this problem facing our state. We must also continue to fight the drug epidemic threatening our state and hurting our families. In the upcoming session, it is clear that we must continue to do all we can to attract more jobs to Maine. To that end, I will work to advocate for proposals which will expand economic opportunity for all Mainers. It is my hope the Legislature can once again work together to find solutions to these widespread problems. You have my humble and sincere thanks for allowing me to represent you in Augusta. Please feel free to contact me at 287-1505 or [email protected] if you have comments, questions or if you would like assistance in navigating our state’s bureaucracy. Sincerely, Dave Woodsome State Senator, District 33 Fax: (207) 287-1527 * TTY (207) 287-1583 * Message Service 1-800-423-6900 * Web Site: legislature.maine.gov/senate February 18, 2015 Dear Neighbors: January marked the end of our first month as members of the 127th Legislature. It’s such an honor to represent our community in the House of Representatives and we are looking forward to working with our colleagues as the session progresses. Perhaps the biggest project facing the Legislature this year will be passing a balanced budget that promotes economic growth and job creation. A critical component of the budget will be maintaining healthy levels of state aid to towns and cities through revenue sharing. We must also make sure to preserve the Low Cost Drugs for the Elderly and Disabled Program, which helps to pay for needed medication for low-income seniors. With a divided government, overcoming partisanship, compromising and working together will be imperative should we expect to accomplish this task. Some other issues the Legislature will address include making higher education more affordable, ensuring more Mainers are working on a livable wage, addressing hunger and poverty in rural areas, improving transportation and access to affordable heating, as well as increasing access to health care services, to name only a few.
