Issues

I am interested in working with ATV Maine toward the responsible use of ATV's. In addition, I would like to ensure adequate state funding for local education, especially in the less affluent communities of the state.

Legislation

There are two pieces of legislation I am especially pleased to have played a role in passing.

Controlling Internet Spam
“Spam email” is now required to contain a valid return e-mail address to allow people to unsubscribe from further unsolicited email because of LD 255, An Act to Control Internet “Spam,” which restricts unsolicited commercial email.

Establishing the Community College System
LD 1369, An Act to Establish the Maine Community College System, transforms the Maine Technical College System into community colleges, which will expand access to low-cost post-secondary education for Maine residents and ensure an educated work force in the state.
