Maine town unanimously supports anti-masking resolution, citing American Disabilities Act
Disability Rights Maine rejects the attempts to misappropriate hard-won disability rights for the use of misguided civil disobedience.
PARIS The anti-mask fervor reached the town of Paris on Monday as its Select Board unanimously passed a resolution opposing Gov. Janet Mills’ executive orders on face coverings because they say they violate the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The resolution was offered to the board by the group Beacon for Sovereignty, based in Paris, a coalition that supports the constitutional rights of Maine residents.
Called the Americans with Disabilities Act Preservation Resolution, the document resolves to “serve as a notice and demand to the state government to cease and desist any and all activities, acts, laws, orders, rules or regulations in violation of the Constitution of the United States and the Americans with Disabilities Act.”
Shorefront path sought on town-owned lot
GOULDSBORO Selectmen will hold an informational session next Thursday, March 4, about the Shellfish Committee’s plan to create a footpath on the town’s ¾-acre shorefront parcel on Prospect Harbor’s eastern shore. The path would give clam diggers and the public a means to access the waterfront.
Shellfish Committee Warden Mike Pinkham says an excavator with a chipper would cut a 6-foot-wide trail from Lighthouse Point Road through alders on the narrow, wooded lot. The committee would cover the estimated cost of $400 to $700 from its own funds.
In Gouldsboro, where commercial fishing is the major livelihood, the town acquired the parcel as a result of accrued unpaid taxes. Town officials have held onto the parcel because of increasingly scarce public access to the sea. The proposed track would enable clam diggers to access the tidal flats on foot rather than having to get there by boat. Until this winter, the flats had been closed
