Maine bill aims to give young people a shot at home ownership by reducing student debt

News 2 hours ago in Local Photo: 560 WGAN Newsradio The Maine Legislature has passed a bill to help bring down student loan debt, with the goal of getting young people into homes. According to CBS 13, lawmakers passed the HOMED Act, which addresses student loan debt and the high cost of owning a home in today’s market. The law, modeled after a similar initiative in Maryland, would direct the Maine State Housing Authority to work alongside the Finance Authority of Maine to design the program.

Governor Janet Mills has 10 days to either sign the bill, veto it, or let it become law without her signature.

Bill to allow semi-open primaries in Maine takes step forward

Read Article A bill that would allow unenrolled voters to participate in primary elections won bipartisan support in the state Senate on Tuesday, suggesting potential momentum on an issue that has been debated in Maine for years. Two years ago, a proposal to allow unenrolled or independent voters to cast ballots in party primaries passed the Maine House but failed in the Senate. On Tuesday, however, the Senate voted 27-7 to give initial approval to a bill that would create “semi-open primaries” enabling independent voters to vote in a political party’s primary during each election cycle without having to enroll in that party.
