@ninamahaleris Only positive I can think of is that local businesses can probably use all the help they can get

The impasse that stopped $450 checks from going out across Maine for heating aid showed the potential for being overcome today: got this a little bit ago from Maine Senate President Troy Jackson’s spokesperson Christine Kirby

[David Marino Jr. @MarinoDavidJr]

The heating aid bill ended up failing in the Senate a little bit earlier. GOP Senate Minority Leader Trey Stewart attributed his caucus’s stance on process and transparency. Senate President Troy Jackson said they didn’t want it anyway - is not hopeful it will pass.

The Maine House has just passed Gov. Mills’ heating bill 125-16. Some opposition from conservative Republicans over process.

Maine Legislature is about to be back in session and you can tell

[David Marino Jr. @MarinoDavidJr]

Lot of people in Maine watching the Georgia Senate runoff today. Some even helped fund it. https://t.co/01gnAGPVty

Maine senators split on Bernie Sanders amendment on paid sick leave for rail workers: Sen. Angus King votes in support while Sen. Susan Collins votes no.

@JamesxMyall That's an interesting thought, especially in light of the Whole Foods decision to stop selling Maine lobster last week.

[David Marino Jr. @MarinoDavidJr]

Lot of pride here in Maine for our lobster industry: would be interesting to know if the White House expected such pushback given the issue's importance within state politics.

[Governor Janet Mills @GovJanetMills]

I am glad President Biden and his State Dinner guests had the opportunity to enjoy Maine lobster, a product that we are incredibly proud of here in Maine. 1/

(I have reached out to the office of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for comment)

The series of hoax mass-shooting threats against Maine schools this month along with mass shootings in Colorado on Saturday and at a Virginia Walmart on Tuesday make a clear case for “common-sense” gun legislation, said Rep. Vicki Doudera, D-Camden.

So many students (including me) have relied on those shuttle buses to get into Boston on the weekend. Absolutely devastating for the @BrandeisU community - giving support to those hurt and their families right now.

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

Most of the people in the Waltham bus crash were Brandeis University students, the university said. One person died and at least 27 were injured. https://t.co/lYCAqOkf6A

A historic day in Maine https://t.co/3RrhyxDt6d

@SeftonIpock @ryanobles @maggieNYT It’s not especially surprising, especially given that he is expected to announce a new run as early as this month.

@KyleWaltonMaine @pdkoenig It was not me.

[David Marino Jr. @MarinoDavidJr]

At the Paul LePage watch party here in downtown Lewiston. Lot of media and supporters here, but no sign of the man himself yet.

[David Marino Jr. @MarinoDavidJr]

Happened to find @PaulLePage2022 here at a polling place in his hometown of Lewiston

[David Marino Jr. @MarinoDavidJr]

First time voter in Buxton (18) just told me abortion rights brought her out to vote. Went for Mills, Pingree. Worried that LePage would ban abortion in Maine:

[David Marino Jr. @MarinoDavidJr]

At my first polling place of the day in the great town of Buxton.
Clerk tells me turnout is very high for a midterm election, nearly 50 percent of registered voters and it’s not even noon - higher than 2018 this time, he said.

[David Marino Jr. @MarinoDavidJr]

Differences between parties were easy to find while talking to voters in Windham on Tuesday. Democrats there understood concerns about inflation, but were skeptical that Mills or even federal officials could do anything about it. https://t.co/VXjCuwvIoh
