Maine Legislature Ends Special Session With Bond Approval
Maine's 101st Legislature concluded a three day special session by approving a $25 million water pollution abatement bond and ten other measures. Gov. Reed lauded the prompt action and signed all bills as adjournment came early in the day. The session also authorized a $400,000 movable span project for the Route 1 toll bridge between Kittery and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, funded from Maine-New Hampshire Interstate Bridge Authority reserves. The bond plan, if voters approve on November 3, will fund state aid to cities and towns for sewerage system work over about two decades, with a rising projected total cost of roughly $97 million and a state share of at least $25 million. Reed noted the statutes revision as a major outcome and urged continued vigilance regarding the Supreme Court’s apportionment ruling.
