Maine AG Lacks Jurisdiction to Investigate Lewiston Shooting Donations

Maine AG Lacks Jurisdiction to Investigate Lewiston Shooting Donations

Maine's Attorney General has stated that his office lacks the jurisdiction to investigate the distribution of nearly $7 million in donations collected after the mass shooting in Lewiston. The Maine Community Foundation raised these funds, with approximately $4.7 million allocated to 162 victims and their families, and around $2 million directed to local nonprofits for community recovery. Some survivors and families claim they were misled, believing 100% of donations would go directly to victims. After months of calls for an investigation, including involvement from Maine's Government Oversight Committee, Attorney General Aaron Frey concluded that his office and OPEGA (Office of Program Evaluation and Government Accountability) do not have jurisdiction because the funds were private donations, not public money.

York Police Department to Remove Flock License Plate Cameras Ahead of Voter Referendum

York Police Department to Remove Flock License Plate Cameras Ahead of Voter Referendum

The York Police Department in Maine is taking down its Flock license plate cameras, a decision announced by Police Chief Owen Davis at a recent select board meeting. This action comes weeks before York voters are scheduled to decide in November whether to permanently ban the technology. Chief Davis indicated that while most residents have not expressed concerns about the York Police Department's use of the cameras, there is broader apprehension regarding the technology and the company behind it. This move follows similar actions in other Maine communities, including South Portland, which removed its Flock cameras in June due to public pushback. The police chief stated his intention to remove the cameras immediately if there were no objections from citizens, board members, or the town manager.

Portland, Maine Police Investigate Dump Truck Incident Involving Child After Recent Fatal Crash

The Portland Police Department is investigating an incident where a 9-year-old boy was injured after being struck by a dump truck at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Fox Street. Witnesses reported that the boy was attempting to cross the street against the pedestrian signal when the dump truck driver, despite attempting to stop, ran over the child's foot. The boy was transported to Maine Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. No charges have been filed in connection with this crash at this time. This incident occurred just three days after a more severe crash on Warren Avenue, where a 13-year-old boy, Abdulrahman Mohammed, was killed and two other teenagers, aged 14 and 15, sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries after being hit by a vehicle. Portland Mayor Mark Dion issued a statement urging all residents and visitors to exercise increased caution on city streets, whether driving, walking, or cycling, to prevent further tragedies.

U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King have written to Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell, the Chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Commerce Committee, respectively, urging them to swiftly advance the Northeast Lobstermen Protection Act. This bipartisan legislation, which recently passed the House of Representatives, aims to extend the current pause on new North Atlantic right whale regulations through 2035. The senators emphasized that this extension is crucial for safeguarding Maine’s lobster fishery, which is a cornerstone of the state’s economy and coastal communities.
