With new state regulations arriving on Monday, Esther, Ben and Mike discuss the state of Maine’s pandemic response and how epidemiology intersects with social science in the formation of public policy.
Also: A legislative lightning round review of bills as the legislature hurtles toward adjournment, with updates on the budget, support for family caregivers, out-of-state waste regulation, a consumer-owned utility, whistleblower protections, housing and more.
Plus: An interview with Em Burnett, formerly a candidate for Charter Commission in Portland, on the municipal races being contested right now in Maine’s largest city.
