Happy Tuesday, Skowhegan!
As mentioned last week, this newsletter is now going out each Tuesday. It will still land in your inbox around 8 a.m. It's a minor change, but let us know if you have any feedback, good or bad.
There's been a lot going on in Skowhegan — and Maine — in the last week. Among the top headlines, town officials have found several violations at the homeless shelter on McClellan Street. Read more about that here.
Thank you for reading,
— Jake Freudberg |
