Much of the site consists of Maine politics & policy news.  The type of sources used & how they’re presented has changed as the site has developed but is now primarily focused on direct-from-source information.  Specifically, this means links to full press releases, interview transcripts, state legislative sources, government & non-government reports, etc.

Original, in depth analysis of Maine’s political and policy issues can be found under TMP Write-Up  and check here for TMP Podcast episodes

 

Links to the current state legislative calendar, committee information & schedules, details about specific bills, legislature contact information and other Maine.gov news & press releases can all be found on the front page.
