More Maine wells have been reported dry this year than in the last four years combined, according to state data. And it’s not clear whether a late-in-the-week run of rain will be enough to restore them. So far, at least 173 wells have been reported dry in 2025, according to the Maine Emergency Management Agency. Between 2021 and 2024, the agency received 90 reports, including 14 last year and 63 in 2022, the most during that stretch.

Reported threats have more than tripled since 2023, when Maine Capitol Police received 23 reports of threats against lawmakers, according to data requested. In 2024, 53 threats were reported, while 75 reports have been made as of mid-September this year.
