Statements from Governor Mills and Commissioner Keliher on Amendment to LD 2225

Below are statements from Governor Mills and Commissioner Keliher on the latest amendment to LD 2225. LD 2225 would provide funding for municipal, state or regionally significant infrastructure adaptation, repair and improvements that support public safety, protection of essential community assets, regional economic needs and long-term infrastructure resiliency. However, this bill has been amended by the Senate to add more than $100 million in completely unrelated spending. The Governor and the Commissioner are calling for a clean bill.

Federal Funding Secured by Senator Collins Supports Restoration of Sea-Run Fish on St. Croix River

Baileyville - Thanks to nearly $7.8 million in Congressionally Directed Spending secured by U.S. Senator Susan Collins, work to restore sea-run fish in the St. Croix River has received significant added support.

The funding will be used by the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR) to replace a failing fishway at the Woodland Dam in Baileyville with a new state-of-the-art fish lift.
