Manage episode 499225549 series 3590907
In Part One of our conversation with Senator Joe Baldacci and former Senate President & gubernatorial candidate Troy Jackson, we tackle Maine’s most pressing challenges—affordable housing, skyrocketing property taxes, and the closure of nursing homes across the state. We also address childcare shortages, workforce needs, rising energy costs, and how to create a stronger business climate. Education, technical training, and the future of passenger rail round out this engaging, solutions-focused dialogue.
Now airing on weekends on VOM, The Voice of Maine.
