BANGOR, Maine In these challenging times for so many people, buying food is not as simple as it once was, and many food pantries are seeing more hungry Mainers.
The Hammond Street Congregational Church in Bangor has run for 46 years the Ecumenical Food Cupboard. Back in the day, they used a come-in-and-shop food pantry for people to choose what they needed, but due to the ongoing pandemic, the cupboard is providing healthy hefty boxes of food to any Mainer in need. Now, boxes of food are passed through a window every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

Jamie McKown - College of the Atlantic There needs to be some accountability for these individuals and whether or not his term ends before he is able to be removed or not, Congress needs to act and make sure he is held accountable, Ryan LaRochelle, lecturer at the Cohen Institute of Leadership and Public Service at the University of Maine, said. This was an unprecedented assault on our democratic institutions.
LaRochelle said the best route is through impeachment or the invoking of the 25th amendment. Even if he is impeached after he leaves office, that would still make sure that he is not allowed to run for office again and also make sure that he is not afforded the usual type of benefits of being an ex-president.
