Abstract

Details on Monday's public hearing front of the Maine Legislature's Appropriations Committee, which is considering a $10 million bond issue for the state purchase of public lands. Less than five percent of Maine lands are in public ownership, ranking the state near the bottom of all states in terms of public ownership. A commission studying Maine's public lands policy last fall recommended that the state borrow $45 million for land purchases.
