Both of Maine’s senators, Republican Susan Collins and independent Angus King, again voted in favor of the Republicans’ temporary funding bill, but it failed nonetheless.
Two Mainers were among a class of 22 “exceptional, creative, and inspiring people” named MacArthur Fellows Wednesday, an honor often referred to as a “Genius Grant.” Artist Jeremy Frey, a Passamaquoddy weaver, and Margaret Wickens Pearce, an Indigenous cartographer, were both named as fellows by the MacArthur Foundation. Each will receive an $800,000 award from the foundation.
