PORTLAND (AP) — More than a dozen tents remain as Occupy Maine faces a deadline for leaving Portland’s Lincoln Park.
Spokeswoman Heather Curtis said most members are expected to comply with an order to leave the park today, but she said there’s no guarantee that everyone will comply.
Curtis also said that “just because the occupation is changing form doesn’t mean it’s going away.” Occupy- Maine has office space, and some vowed to move the encampment to private land.
