AUGUSTA (AP) — Maine lawmakers plan to return to the State House this fall to consider bond proposals.
The Democratic-led Legislature is set to adjourn this month. But the Democratic leadership said on Tuesday that they will return this fall to take up bond proposals, instead of waiting until January.
The date of their return is not yet determined.
Democrats also are calling on Gov. Paul LePage to release more than $100 million in bonds that have been approved by the Legislature and voters. LePage said he would release the bonds when the hospital debt payment plan passed, which happened last month.
