Millions in Bond Proposals Move Forward in Maine Senate

Having dispensed with its work on the state budget, the Maine House and Senate are now in the process of approving five bond proposals totalling just over $95 million dollars. The borrowing packages targeting specific transportation projects, research and development and conservation are being enthusiastically supported only a year after lawmakers refused to approve any bonds at all. But some Republicans say they can't justify borrowing more money when the state has not met many of its financial obligations, particularly to Maine hospitals.
