You only need to get an emissions inspection if your car is registered in Cumberland County. In all other counties there's no emissions testing.

What type of bills?
Call 211. This is a general service number that may be able to help in finding assistance to pay these bills.

This seems to be the difference between Democrats and Republicans. If it was an (R) next to his name, we'd hear nothing but screaming about it being a setup, fake news, etc. Meanwhile Democrats are just like, "Ok, arrest him".

Take a look at the nutrition though. Too much iodine can cause thyroid problems. I personally like seaweed but in proper healthy amounts.

The corridor doesn't have anything to do with our current rates, although it is one project that could actually bring an increase in energy potential to our area. As many people have said, CMP only controls the delivery portion of your bill, which is much smaller than the supply portion. Unfortunately, they often take the fall for the whole increase, even though fossil fuel companies are really the people to blame!

What won’t be there is Republican leadership and Republican voters wanting to hold someone with an R next to their name accountable.

From the Natural Gas Companies, like NextEra and New Brunswick! They have gotten a 120% rate increase in a year.

Remember that AG in S Dakota that killed a pedestrian while driving his car and using his phone to check emails? His name is South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg. He was impeached and tossed out of his office. It's not about party, it's about doing the right thing.
That said, it's remarkably easy to say "of course they did it, since otherwise our party would look bad." Just like you said about the PPH making hay for some Democrat. Stop saying shit like that, stop guessing motives. Stop using a reporter's or editor's decision in phrasing to justify YOUR bias. Just be the person who starts with "Good, they deserved it" and let it go with that. That is what you are hearing a bunch of people doing in this thread, and yet you persist in "I'll believe it when I see it." It's you. You are the problem.

How will Public Power reduce outages? When have you seen anything in the government sector efficiently?

And he is a male. And he is (apparently) a fisherman. And he is caucasian.
None of them are linked to his fraudulent behavior. That is the only thing that matters. If he's guilty, persecute and prosecute. Dragging his choice of political affiliations into it is, quite frankly, small. I dare say most registered Dem voters have no interaction with ANY Dem politicians. Likewise with Republicans. Creating a relationship where none exists is one of the big reasons our country is such at odds today.

Ft. Williams Park (Portland Head Light) - a lot of great buildings historic to the Fort and the park itself is beautiful.
-
Ft. Preble (Spring Point Ledge Light) - historic fort that is just adjacent to the jetty out to Spring Point Ledge Light. Also, walk around Southern Maine Community College that is in the property as most buildings are labeled with what they were back when Ft. Preble was in operation.
-
Cushing Point (Bug Light) - this entire area was a part of the New England Shipbuilding Corp where they built Liberty Ships during WWII.
All three are very scenic and very historic. 2 & 3 are easily walkable between the two via the Greenbelt Trail.

It takes more clicks than it should.
IIRC go to my account
then to my bill
then pick this month's bill
then click view
then click pay
then pick the only bank account attached to it
then pick the entire balance
then click preview
then click pay
then click "are you sure? yes"

>I’ll look for this comment the next time I see an article about a republican. Spoiler alert, it won’t be there.
Are you saying that Democrats don't call for Republican politicians who break the law to be punished?

>I’ll admit it’s a bit cringy but I’m just so sick of seeing the constant Republican bashing that goes on in r/Maine. The bias here is so obvious. It’s nice to finally see another conservative here. I was beginning to think I was the only one.
As a Democrat, I don't feel the need to bash Republicans unless they are doing something that violates my moral code. It doesn't help that there are some pretty offensive (deliberately so) bits of rhetoric in circulation at the moment: "LGBTQ+ folks are all deviant groomers" and the like.
But I also will bash Democrats for doing the same.
This guy is a crook.

And the Waldoboro Democrat is being indicted and told to step down by the Democrat majority house within hours of the indictment being announced.
Im still waiting for you to show me a BDN front page story of the Sanford guy being caught like you said would have happened, or any other case of his case being overblown.

Yeah, it really depends on the context it's used and affordable for who. It can also sometimes be determined based on income, local housing prices, government policies, etc. which can vary from place to place.
