As you may have seen in the news, the Legislature
ended its regular session. We have left good bipartisan bills in jeopardy and
potential solutions to pressing issues in limbo. I will continue working my
hardest on the issues that matter to you. I won't walk away from this work.
It’s what we were elected to do and it’s too important to leave unfinished.
We plan to return at least for one day
next month to override vetoes by the Governor and do any other business that we
can complete. In the meantime, I will keep you updated on developments at the
State House. Please always feel welcome to contact me with your questions and
concerns.
This session, we passed measures to
protect children from abuse, fight the deadly opioid crisis and responsibly
implement recreational marijuana legalization as approved by voters.
We continue to work on funding for nursing
homes and direct care workers and several bonds, including bonds for
transportation funding that require additional votes before they can be sent to
the ballot for final approval. We have more to do to strengthen our economy,
improve public safety and protect consumers.
Many of you have contacted me and my
colleagues recently about inaccurate electric bills. If you are unable to
resolve your bill dispute directly with the utility, please contact the Maine
Public Utilities Commission to make an official complaint. You can call the
Consumer Assistance Hotline Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at
1-800-452-4699 or file a complaint online complaint at www.maine.gov/mpuc/consumer/file_complaint.shtml.
