Gov. LePage Signs $85M Transportation Bond Proposal

AUGUSTA, Maine - Maine voters will consider an $85 million bond proposal to fund improvements to the state's roads and bridges.

Republican Gov. Paul LePage signed the bill on Wednesday. It will be placed on the November ballot.

It was one of two bond proposals passed by the Legislature this week. LePage has not yet taken action on the other measure, which would put $15 million toward building more affordable housing for seniors.

Most of the money from the transportation bond would go toward building or rehabilitating highways and bridges. A total of $17 million is targeted for improvements to things like ports, harbors and passenger railroads.

Despite his vow to veto every bill, LePage has signed a handful and let several go into law without his signature.
