Bangor Plan lingers in Penobscot as dry debate grows
The Bangor plan continues to influence liquor trade in Penobscot and neighboring counties. Merchants in Ellsworth fear trade will move to Bangor if Penobscot remains wet. The informal “Bangor piso” allows saloons to operate 6 AM to 10 PM daily except Sundays with minimal raids, while violations trigger arrests. Public sentiment shifts toward stricter enforcement across the state.
