Bath aims to empower city ordinances with teeth
A Maine Bath bill seeks city court authority to punish violations by fines up to 50 dollars or up to 30 days in jail. A legislative committee heard the measure Tuesday as local attorneys warn current penalties are easily ignored. The bill, drafted by former judge John J. Keegan, would allow Bath to collect fines via court and fund the treasury, expediting enforcement of revised city laws already under revision.
