I hate Cape like every right-thinking American but the assholes quoted in this article do not represent the opinions of everyone who lives there.
I am sure there is some overlap of the Prideful Ukrainians and the anti-ADU people but it is not 100%

In fact, 113 over to the Kanc (112) is gorgeous but I would be concerned about ice right now.

Impossible to find a different building in Rumford to escape that safety issue.

The essay is the opinion of the author and not the BDN editorial page. The author's bio is at the bottom of the essay.

Thank you for the explanation. Gives the Republicans more leverage. So what do you think their endgame is?

this was a vote to pass it on an emergency basis which requires a 2/3 vote to pass. it will come back in January when it will pass on a majority basis which will then take a certain amount of time to go into effect (30 days?).
The R senators delayed the inevitable for 2 or so months because they're betting that they can grandstand on some small provisions of the bill to score political points.
I think it is a bad bet on their part; it makes them look petty to me. But what do I know?

everybody knows how the vote is going to turn out before the votes are actually cast. If the Ds thought that there was any chance that they could have carried the Senate, Mills herself would have driven down to Portland to drag Ben up to Augusta for the vote.

Didn't make a difference in the outcome. He will vote the right way when it comes back.

He is termed out at the end of this term so there is no primary option.

Reply to Maine is out of pediatric hospital beds. “As of Nov. 24, about 30,000 of the country's 40,000 pediatric hospital beds were available. Five states are at 90% capacity or higher. Currently the most overwhelmed state is Maine, at 109% capacity” by membaberry18
the chart conflicts with the text of the article. it shows Maine at 72% use while the text says 109%.
also the chart indicates that we have 85 pediatric beds statewide. seems low on a per Capita basis but I have no point of reference for what is considered appropriate.

I don't think anyone cares about that site. The one where the town is buying the site is close by Maquoit Bay. https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/11/23/news/midcoast/brunswick-maquoit-bay-purchase/

Kittery is way more nimby. Brunswick is actually pretty good but that site has some challenges. I believe that the Brunswick moratorium was to give them time to craft affordability requirements.

My analysis of any situation begins with "people are dumb as fuck" but then I realize that I am people and therefore also dumb as fuck. Then I try to remember what I was thinking about in the first place.

It's fun and satisfying to dump on Cape. And they make it so easy.
That said, I am ok if the powers that be rotate the heavy bag every so often. Falmouth and Yarmouth should take their hits.
