AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Memorial Day weather: Rain is soaking in across Maine, with parades already canceled in Berwick, Camden, Cumberland, South Portland, Westbrook and Windham, and more showers expected to ramp up Monday before easing later in the day. Politics: Bernie Sanders brought his “Fight Oligarchy” tour to Orono, rallying hundreds and backing Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner and gubernatorial candidate Troy Jackson ahead of the June 9 primary. Campaign trail: Republican gubernatorial hopeful Jonathan Bush held a Portland town hall focused on cutting taxes and shrinking state government, while also facing questions on MaineCare and other issues. Health care: MaineCare’s chief medical officer outlined plans for a 1115 Medicaid re-entry waiver, aiming to tailor services by county rather than one statewide approach. Local culture & outdoors: Norway’s Shepard’s Farm Preserve unveiled the “Pinkies,” tall magenta salvage-art sculptures made from fishing gear. Sports: The Fightin Phils rallied to beat Portland 7-3, and the Portland Trail Blazers’ coaching search is reportedly drawing interest from Tyler Lashbrook.
