Androscoggin County is in a Severe Hydrologic Drought

 

Despite last week’s rain, which ran off instead of soaking in, Maine is experiencing drought conditions for the third summer in a row.  Every County, with the exception of Washington County, is experiencing drought or abnormally dry conditions.  Most of Maine was experiencing normal conditions early in the spring largely due to the winter’s snowfall but, with the warm, dry conditions so far this summer, we are back into a drought situation.  Through July 24, streamflow conditions were generally in an extreme to moderate drought condition according to Nick Stasulis of U.S.G.S.  Many wells are showing well below to much below normal conditions with some in the low end of normal.  As you can see from the attached map indicating statewide drought conditions, Androscoggin County is in a severe hydrologic drought.  The Maine Drought Task Force is closely monitoring conditions and the group will convene if conditions worsen.
Meanwhile, those with wells should check water levels on a regular basis and if found to be low, should consider reducing daily water usage to allow groundwater recharge, and are asked to report low conditions to municipal and emergency management officials.
IMPORTANT NOTE:  Citizens should be reminded to avoid filling wells with foreign water due to dangers of contamination, corrosion and/or lead problems and should be encouraged to use water wisely.
Please call if you have questions or concerns.

WAKE UP MAINERS - PART 1

 

As Mainers, we have a responsibility to support our President until he does something against the law.  Mainers elect their representatives to speak for them in Congress.  One of those individuals is Chellie Pingree, District 1’s House Representative.  I have downloaded the last two months of her voting record and it is below for everyone to see.

 

July 25 Making changes to health savings accounts, including allowing them to be used for over-the-counter medications (277-142) Voted - Yes

 

July 25 Expanding eligibility for health savings accounts (242-176) Voted - No

 

July 24 Eliminating the medical device tax (283-132) Voted - No

 

July 19 Opposing a carbon tax (229-180) Voted - No

 

July 18 Expressing support for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and denouncing calls for its abolishment (244-35) Voted – Present (Which is no vote one way or the other)

 

June 27 Republican "compromise" immigration bill (121-301) Voted - No

 

June 22 Broad legislation to address the opioid crisis (396-14) Voted – Yes

 

June 21 The 2018 farm bill (House revote) (213-211) Voted - No

 

June 20 Changing privacy rules with regard to substance-abuse treatment (357-57) Voted -Yes

 

June 20 Allowing Medicaid to pay for adults with opioid use disorder to receive treatment in mental health facilities (261-155) Voted - No

 

June 15 Allowing the prohibition of certain synthetic drugs (239-142) Voted – No

June 14 Targeting imports of opioids through the international mail system (353-52) Voted – Yes

June 7 Rescinding previously approved but unspent funding (210-206) Voted – No

As you can see, Representative Pingree has voted “NO” the majority of the time.  In fact, Representative Pingree has only voted 17.2% of the time to support the President’s agenda.  I believe that this definitely reflects that Representative Pingree votes along party lines instead of what the Mainers she represents feels.

 

It is my opinion, based on her voting record; Representative Pingree is a puppet for Nancy Pelosi and the Resistance.   The President needs Mainers support to move this country forward and he is not getting it from Representative Pingree and the Mainers she represents.

 

On May 22, 2018, Representative Pingree voted “NO” on a bill to “Allow patients with terminal illnesses the right to try unapproved treatment”.  I think this is outrageous that terminal ill individuals are striped of any hope.  By not allowing terminal ill individuals to try unapproved treatments, you are sentencing them to sure death.  By allowing these individuals to try unapproved treatments, there is a chance to find cures.  The terminal ill individuals should have the right to choose.

 

Representative Pingree is in District 1, so I do not have the opportunity to vote her out but others do and I encourage all Mainers in District 1 to choose wisely when voting for whom they want to best represent them in Congress.
