Good morning. It's Friday, April 18, 2025. |
Today, Hannah Kaufman writes about protestors outside a Waterville event wanting accountability from U.S. Rep. Jared Golden. We also have a story on Hallowell's drinking water exceeding state limits, and on Monmouth withdrawing its U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement training application. | HOLDING GOLDEN ACCOUNTABLE
More than 70 people with signs demanding accountability from U.S. Rep. Jared Golden lined Main Street in Waterville on Wednesday in the hour before he was to speak at a private Colby College event. The protesters and other Maine residents have expressed frustration that Golden and other congressional representatives are not holding town hall meetings where they can hear directly from voters.
PFAS IN DRINKING WATER
The drinking water of 912 Hallowell residences, businesses, schools and government buildings is now in excess of state limits on potentially harmful forever chemicals, according to testing by the city's water district. Tests on March 26 measured PFAS levels at 20.1 parts per trillion, higher than any test in the past three years. The district, required by state law to notify customers about PFAS levels above the limit of 20 parts per trillion, mailed a notice to residents and businesses Thursday.
