On Wednesday January 4th the second session of the 125th Legislature began. Some of the highlights included the swearing in ceremony for David Slagger who becomes the third member to represent a native American tribe, the Houlton Band of Maliseets. Rep Slagger was then seated the following day with many tribal members present including the Lt. Governor for the province of New Brunswick Canada, the Honourable Graydon Nicholas.
Also joining us was the newest elected representitive Raymond Wallace from Dexter. Reppresentative Wallace fills the seat left empty due to the resignation of the previous member. He is a native Mainer who worked many years for Dexter Shoe. He has been appointed to the Joint Standing Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research and Development.
We welcome both of our new members!
