In 2010, anti-gay activist Michael Heath declared his intention to run for governor as an independent.
One day later, he dropped out of the race after announcing the campaign was “beyond my capacity at this point in my life.”
Now, though, he said he’s in for real, determined to defeat Democrat Gov. Janet Mills, who is up for reelection in 2022.
“We’re going to lead Maine people through this Red Sea of communism into Donald Trump’s new Christian constitutional republic,” Heath posted on his website recently.
Converse County Commissioners distributed $216,000 to various organizations throughout the county via the Community Charitable Relief Program (CCRP) during a special meeting Monday evening.
This CCRP complies with the Coronavirus, Aid, relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, and allows each county to award funds to charitable organizations that have provided COVID-19 relief to the public and/or have suffered a reduction in donations, grants or other income directly because of the pandemic.
Commissioners granted most of these funds to the Human Resource Council of Converse County/Community Service Block Grant, which got $85,000, the Kingâs Portion Food Pantry, which got $60,000 and Solutions for Life, which received $50,000.
