This month, Democracy Forum discusses the two ballot questions that appear on the November 4 state ballot in Maine. How does the citizen initiative process work in Maine? What are the two ballot questions this year? What the new laws would do, if passed? What are the proponents saying; what are the opponents saying? Who’s funding the campaigns? Join host Ann Luther from the League of Women Voters of Maine, along with guests Mark Brewer, Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science at the University of Maine, Amy Fried, Professor Emerita of Political Science, University of Maine, and Michael Shepherd, Political editor at the Bangor Daily News.
