AUGUSTA, Maine — Young people in Maine may soon get a permanent role in state politics. Rep. Charlotte Warrer, D-Hallowell, has introduced a bill that looks to create a 'Youth Impact Commission' for the state.
"The question of how we get young people to stay in Maine or to relocate and settle in Maine is a problem we've been talking about for a long time," said Rep. Warren. "It's time we talk to our young people in search of a solution to the problem."
