#Maine protesters call out #SenatorSusanCollins for not holding a town hall in 25 years
Story by Allyson Lapierre, WGME, March 16, 2025
PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Dozens of protesters took to Congress Square Park in #PortlandME on Sunday, calling on Senator Susan Collins to hold a town hall for her constituents.
"The group #IndivisibleGreaterPortland says Senator Collins has not held a town hall for Mainers in over 25 years. So, on Sunday, the group held a town hall without her.
"Participants voiced concerns about federal cuts from #DOGE, #tariffs, and Trump's talk about taking over #Greenland and Gaza.
"'People are scared. People have questions. People need answers. People don't understand what's going on. Things are just moving too fast, and they're out of touch with their elected officials who basically are sending form letters and not explaining their votes,' Marie Follayttar, who attended the event, said.
"CBS13 reached out to Senator Collins for a response but did not hear back."

#UniversityOfMaine’s #USDA funding restored
by WABI News Desk
Published: Mar. 12, 2025 at 9:05 PM EDT
Maine (WABI) - "Senator #SusanCollins announced Wednesday that the University of Maine’s funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been restored.
"On Monday the University received notice that funding from the USDA was paused.
"According to UMS, the notice stated the pause was temporary while the USDA evaluated potential follow-up actions related to prospective Title VI (6) or Title IX (9) violations.
"Collins released at statement saying:
'This USDA funding is critically important not only to the University of Maine, but to our farmers and loggers, as well as to the many people who work in #Maine’s #agriculture, #aquaculture, and #forestry industries. Now that funding has been restored, the work that the University does in partnership with the many people and communities who depend on these programs can continue.'"

@Darkphoenix I looked #UselessSusanCollins up on #OpenSecrets. She is totally in the pockets of the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex!
"But for [#SusanCollins], a #prochoice #Republican, the decision to put a man accused of sexual assault on the Supreme Court runs a political — and personal — risk. For her, it comes down to believing that #Kavanaugh will uphold #RoeVsWade." SUCKER!!!

Well gee... #UselessSusanCollins said that #Trump / #Musk cuts could be a "big problem". Maybe you should have had a backbone against some of his #SCOTUS and other appointments, eh?
