Despite multiple accusations, including the mishandling of firearms, neglecting school certifications, and improper influence on a traffic stop, Maine Governor Janet Mills has decided against removing Oxford County Sheriff Christopher Wainwright. Mills stated that the evidence did not meet the “extraordinary circumstances” threshold required for dismissal, which hasn’t occurred since 1926.
Former Maine Governor Joseph Brennan, a staunch advocate for working-class Mainers, passed away recently at the age of 89. Known for his Irish heritage and Jesuit education, Brennan’s political career was marked by courage and a commitment to history. He will be remembered for his unwavering support of Maine’s public lands, education reform, and social programs.
