Gov. Janet Mills attends a news conference in Portland, Maine, Monday, Jan. 27, 2020.
Democratic Gov. Janet Mills this week rolled out her proposal to spend $1.3 billion in federal relief money, a plan that could bolster her reelection chances if it works and if she can convince the Legislature to go along with it.

I was curious about the April 28 public protest by Maine lobstermen against all offshore wind power development.
Surely these people know, better than most, that the greatest danger to their industry is the warming of the Gulf of Maine because of our climate emergency. They can’t be unaware of the collapse of their industry in southern New England, nor that the areas of largest catch of Maine lobsters migrates north in search of the cold waters needed to thrive.
I was further surprised by their logo, with its motto “Crush Mills.” Why a personalized political attack if their issue is economic and environmental?
