Town boards endorse universal health care
MOUNT DESERT The town boards in Bar Harbor and Tremont have joined those in several other Maine municipalities in adopting a resolution calling on the Legislature to design and implement a health plan that provides every Maine resident with comprehensive medical care.
The resolution was on the agenda for the Mount Desert Board of Selectmen’s meeting Tuesday night, but they neither discussed nor voted on it. Town Manager Durlin Lunt said Wednesday that he thinks the board is likely to take it up at a future meeting.
