TOPSHAM — The Maine Merchants Association Board of Directors has selected Rep. Kerri Prescott, R-Topsham, its 2012 Jim McGregor Government Service Award recipient.
The award will be presented today at the association’s annual meeting in Portland.
Prescott “did an outstanding job this past year” as the co-chair of the Labor Commerce Research and Economic Development Committee, with work on improving the gift card laws for Maine retailers and leveling the playing field between brickand mortar and online-only retailers, said Maine Merchants Association board Chairman Fox Keim, of Kittery.
