FRIDAY EVENING AT 7:32PM THE MAINE STATE SENATE PASSED LD2019
This bill makes it possible for the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority to make funding arrangements to extend our Downeaster Passenger Train Service to Freeport and Brunswick - starting almost immediately!
Thanks to those of you who contacted members of the House, the Senate and the Appropriations Committee - this would not have happened without your help. Please thank those members of the Legislature who responded to your calls. Also calls to Governor Baldacci's office in Augusta would be appropriate. The Governor and his Chief of Staff, Jane Lincoln were outstanding in their support for the bill and employed wonderful negotiating skills to gain further support in the Legislature.
Hi Ho Hi Ho - it's off to Freeport and Brunswick we go. Please remember, if TrainRiders/Northeast didn't exist - there would be no Amtrak of Downeaster service in Maine or New Hampshire. Your continued support is appreciated.
Wayne E. Davis, Chairman, TNE
