Interview With Senator George Mitchell

Maine Policy Review

Senator George Mitchell's leadership in Northern Ireland has earned him worldwide praise. Yet such praise is not surprising to citizens of Maine who have lauded the Senator for many years throughout his remarkable tenure in the United States Senate. In 1980, Senator Mitchell was appointed to the United States Senate to complete the unexpired term of Senator Edmund S. Muskie who had resigned to become Secretary of State. In 1982, after trailing in public opinion polls by thirty-six points, he rallied to win his first election, receiving 61 percent of the votes cast. Mitchell went on to an illustrious career …

Digital Democracy Is Coming To The Maine Legislature, Joseph Carleton

Maine Policy Review

Although Maine's information infrastructure is several years ahead of the nation in development, Maine ranks only 41st out of 50 states in its "Digital Democracy," that is, its use of new telecommunications and information technologies to permit greater citizen access to laws, legislators and the state's legislative processes. State Rep. Joseph Carleton outlines changes underway in the Maine Legislature that will result in greater digital democracy throughout the state. Through advances such as e-mail, the Internet, and other digital forms of communication, Carleton envisions new ways of doing business both for legislators and citizens. In discussing the effects of such …

Maine's Science And Engineering Brain Drain: How Much And Why?, Louis G. Tornatzky, Denis Gray, Stephanie A. Tarant, Julie Howe

Maine Policy Review

More than the traditional economic ingredients, the new global economy is being built around talented people with special knowledge and skills, those with the capacity to innovate and the entrepreneurial wherewithal to turn ideas into commercial products. Hence many states are shifting economic development strategies away from efforts that market commodities such as low tax rates and cheap labor, and toward efforts that amass and equip talented people with the tools of innovation. In short, states are beginning to think about strategies for recruiting and/or retaining talented workers. In this regard, the Southern Technology Council conducted a national study to …

Reforming Maine's Education Funding Process, Patrick M. Dow, Ralph Townsend

Maine Policy Review

In recent years funding for Maine K-12 education has been a source of almost constant dissension. As authors Patrick Dow and Ralph Townsend note, much of this dissension began in the early 1990s with the legislature's decision to reduce funding for local education. Shrinking community budgets for local education have led to political battles over who gets what and have led to changes in the school funding formula established in the 1970s. The authors argue that these changes have eroded the principles of equity on which the 1970s formula was built. They trace the history of education funding in Maine, …

The Importance Of Maine's Economic Ties With Canada: Some Thoughts Related To The East-West Highway, Richard E. Mueller

Maine Policy Review

Whether to build an east-west highway across central Maine has been widely debated in recent months and, regardless of where one stands on the issue, all agree it is important to study the idea further. In this article, Richard Mueller addresses Maine's economic linkages with Canada and assesses how an east-west highway would affect them. He focuses on cross border traffic flows, inter-provincial truck activity, Canadian-American trade, and tourism, concluding that there is little doubt an east-west highway would bring economic benefits to northern and central Maine. Yet he cautions policymakers to consider the investment carefully. Highways are two-way streets …
