On Monday the 14th the Houlton Rotary hosted Chief of Staff to Sen. Susan Collins, Steve Abbott. Mr. Abbott spoke about the passing of the truck weights bill by the senate and to by signed President Obama within days. This bill will allow trucks on our Maine Interstate System to carry 100,000lbs, up from the current 80,000lbs. This is for a one year time frame to see the impact it has on our roadways, safety and business economics. A study will be performed after one year to see if this way of transportation is feasible for permanent law. Mr. Abbott also spoke about health care reform and the financials that surround this very delicate subject.
