Maine Faces Summer Pests and Tax Struggles
Maine expects a quieter pest year as hundreds worked across the state to remove browntail and gypsy moth nests, but severe cold left many egg clusters intact. Experts warn not to assume all eggs died and urges spring spraying to protect orchards. The Bath area and other towns face fiscal strain with tax nonpayment, a $42,000 unpaid accounts balance, and a $5000 February payroll shortfall, signaling grim finances and the need for strict economy next year.
