Gov. Mills aims to fast-track storm relief funding

MAINE PUBLIC • February 9, 2024

The Mills administration hopes to fast-track a bill that would provide $50 million to communities to repair infrastructure damaged during recent storms. Gov. Janet Mills told lawmakers last weekduring her State of the State address that she would include the $50 million allocation in a larger budget bill. But lawmakers likely won't finalize that budget until spring. So on Friday, Mills' office said she would introduce a stand-alone bill that could move faster through the legislative process.
