Column: Your mental health matters

5/25/2023

As the adage goes, it’s important to stop and smell the roses. Meaning, in our daily hustle and bustle, we all must find ways of taking a reset moment and appreciate all life has to offer. It’s easier said than done, as I’m writing this column in the car on our way to Bar Harbor to take some relaxation time for a few days. Even recharging on vacation isn’t always the solution, as the pile of work and life’s responsibilities will just be waiting for you upon your return.

The county budget season is upon us and it’s a perfect opportunity to break down the process, which isn’t well known.
​

The typical annual county budget is around $20+ million. To give you a comparison on both ends of the spectrum, the city of Saco annual municipal budget has been around $35+ million and the governor put forth her most recent two-year budget proposal of $10+ billion.

York County Budget Committee in need of members

​ALFRED - The York County Budget Committee has a number of vacancies to fill ahead of the budget season.
 
There are a total of 10 vacancies that need to be filled for the full committee to be in place.
 
Each of the 5 county commission districts has 2 municipal elected officials and a public member represented on the committee. The committee is also supposed to have a legislator from the York County delegation serve as a non-voting member. Members are selected at an annual caucus, where any elected municipal official in the county can vote on the selection.
 
“I would encourage the communities in my district to send elected officials to the caucus to vote on the vacancies and put forward individuals interested in serving on the committee as we have all three spots open,” says County Commissioner Justin Chenette, who represents Saco, Old Orchard Beach, Hollis, and Buxton. “This part of the public process is entirely separate from the commission and is a critical step towards ensuring that the county budget is finalized by the communities throughout York County in a transparent and accountable way.”

2023 Saco Bay coastal erosion symposium

Honored to participate as a panelist in the 4th annual Saco Bay Symposium hosted by SOS "Save Our Shores" Saco Bay at Saco City Hall. Topics discussed included: The county dredge purchase, dune recovery projects and legislation to help with them, erosion data based on recent storms, Army Corps project update, and state climate grant availability. When I started this forum back in 2020, my goal was to bring every level of government together: local, county, state, and Federal to coordinate solutions to Camp Ellis and coastal erosion. I really appreciate SOS Saco Bay for all their continued efforts not just with this forum, but for keeping these issues on the front burner. We wouldn’t be where we are at in terms of progress without their strong advocacy.
