Maine, our nation, and our world face complex and urgent challenges. We need leaders who spend less time talking about what they are going to do and more time actually doing it — and that’s why I’m supporting Angus King this year. We face an unprecedented affordable housing challenge. A recent estimate predicts Maine needs […]

Since the Roux Institute site plan has been approved by the Portland Planning Board, tempered with concerns about so much traffic using one street for entry and exit, perhaps the Roux Institute could do something else to help alleviate the problem.
