Talk of the Towns 7/13/18

Producer/Host: Ron Beard, University of Maine Cooperative Extension Engineer: Amy Browne Looking Back at Maine’s 2018 Legislative Session Key Discussion Points: How do you approach the role of legislator—what balance between advancing policy or solving problems framed by your parties vs. constituent services and solving problems that they bring to your attention? What are your primary committee assignments, and what did those committees work on in this session? Overall, what were the accomplishments from 128th legislature (2017-18) of which you are most proud? How do those accomplishments translate for your constituents? On the other hand, what were your greatest disappointments—those things you hoped could be accomplished in this session, but were not? What do you issues do you imagine will be enduring, as the campaign season heats up and after the November elections, for the 129th Legislature? Guests: Representative Brian Hubbell, Democrat, Bar Harbor Senator Brian Langley, Republican, Ellsworth Representative Ralph Chapman, Green Independent, Brooksville The post Talk of the Towns 7/13/18 first appeared on WERU 89.9 FM Blue Hill, Maine Local News and Public Affairs Archives.
