Maine lawmakers debate ombudsman and Indian status reform
In Augusta on Wednesday the State Government Committee heard a freshman senator advocate for an ombudsman to investigate citizen complaints, while a police captain warned it would harm morale. Separately, a Republican caucus moved to study Maine Indians' legal status, considering non voting representatives and treaty rights. Gov Curtis also signed an emergency bill granting $100,000 for four state schools and dormitory projects.
