​I don’t have to tell you that sea level rise poses a serious threat to Old Orchard Beach. You’ve seen it. We are experiencing it. The most recent storm that flooded Old Orchard Beach was illustrative of the change we are already dealing with. According to state data, a 1.6-foot sea level rise would reduce our dry beach by almost a third of its width.
 
OOB, like many coastal Maine communities, has an economy reliant on having a healthy and safe coastline to support tourism and recreation. Not to mention homes in danger of being washed away.

Column: Making county government more accessible

2/5/2023

0 Comments

 
​One of the biggest issues that I saw before ultimately deciding to run for county commissioner was the fact meetings were not accessible to the public, particularly for working Mainers.
 
I saw regularly scheduled county commission meetings at 4:30PM, 4PM, with special workshops and public hearings held even earlier at 3:30PM and 3PM. To make those meeting times, you’d have to leave even earlier to make it over to Alfred in time.
 
Sadly, this is not uncommon for county governments across our state. In fact, we are one of the latest meetings, with most held in the middle of the day or even in the morning. Cumberland County holds the title for the latest meeting at 5:30PM, which is still a lot earlier than most selectboard and city council meetings held at 6:30 or 7PM.  
 
We should be the most accessible commission meeting in the state. Which is why I proposed a motion at my very first meeting after getting sworn into office to move the meeting time to 6PM.
