Bob Saucier for House District
To the editor:
Bob Saucier is running for reelection to House District 147 and he deserves our support. Bob has ably represented the interests of working people in the Maine Legislature for the past four years.
He has served with distinction during that time on the Joint Standing Committee on Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (ACF), always looking out for Aroostook County in the important areas of farming and forestry.
In the last session, Bob Saucier was the primary sponsor of essential legislation aimed at strengthening rural Maine’s economy by increasing high speed internet access. Bob’s championing of LD 826 – “An Act To Promote Maine’s Economic Development and Critical Communications for Rural Family Farms, Businesses and Residences by Strategic Public Investments in High-Speed Internet” got this important legislation to pass both houses of the Legislature. Unfortunately, the southern Maine dominated Appropriations Committee denied funding for this measure and prevented it from going to the Governor’s desk for signature.
We need Bob Saucier back in the Legislature fighting for Aroostook County. Please vote on November 8 for Bob Saucier House District 147. Thank you!
