Bucksport voters approved repairing the town’s leaky municipal pool by a wide margin on Tuesday. House Democrats have announced they'll hold the first public hearings next week in their impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. On Tuesday night, Safiya Khalid won her race by a significant margin. The victory, she told supporters, showed that “community organizers beat Internet trolls.” What we want to know, now that the election is over, is what questions you have about the results — and what information you wish you had known before you cast your ballot. Historic signs from the park are up for bid in an annual online auction and fundraiser organized by the nonprofit organization Friends of Baxter State Park. The CEO of Canadian energy giant Hydro-Quebec said the company could have done a better job making its case for Central Maine Power's controversial 145-mile transmission line through western Maine. Sea-level rise caused by climate change could put substantial portions of Stonington under water in the next 81 years, with some key areas facing flooding during moderate storms as early as 11 years from now, according to a study commissioned by town officials. Bar Harbor netted more than $1.5 million in its first season charging for downtown parking, three times the amount town officials said they expected from parking fees, fines and permits. Taylor Schildroth looked right at home over the weekend, knocking down 3-pointers from the same Cross Insurance Center basketball court where he helped George Stevens Academy of Blue Hill win three straight Class C state championships between 2016 and 2018. Three Ellsworth residents were elected to the City Council during Tuesday’s election. In a race charged with discord between an incumbent and an insurgent city councilor, a third candidate — Kate Snyder — looked to be the last one standing in Portland’s mayoral election on Tuesday, unseating Mayor Ethan Strimling. Bangor voters have approved a proposal to raise up to $6 million for an extensive renovation of City Hall, with about 60 percent of voters backing the rehab. Safiya Khalid, 23, won with 69.9 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results. Political newcomer Brenda Bonneville will fill a void on Belfast City Council after defeating Ridgely Fuller tonight for the open Ward 3 seat. The vote was 961 to 543, according to the unofficial tally. Former Lewiston City Council President Mark Cayer beat out two competitors to win the city’s mayoral race Tuesday night, becoming the first Democrat-backed candidate to win the seat in Maine’s second-largest city in 10 years. Bangor voters have returned an incumbent to the City Council and chosen three newcomers, including an immigrant from Nigeria. Low-income tenants at a housing complex in Portland who were surprised and devastated to get eviction notices last month should never have received the letters, a representative for the property owner said late Tuesday. “I think the people of Maine will ultimately support her in the election either way." Lobsterman Ren Dorr said once he saw the deer in the water, he knew he couldn't leave him. Soon, the deer became the newest passenger on their boat. Calling a state proposal to reduce the amount of rope lobstermen use "a line in the sand," Maine's top fisheries official said Monday that he hoped the state plan generates data that absolves Maine's lobster fishery from blame in right whale deaths. |
