AUGUSTA — State college campus funding will get the top spot among bond issues on the Nov. 6 Maine ballot, Secretary of State Charlie Summers determined by a drawing Friday.

Maine law requires a drawing process for ballot position. But it also says people’s veto questions must go first, followed by citizen initiatives. That means Question 1 on the ballot will be the initiative on whether the state should issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The first bond question will be whether to borrow $11.3 million for capital improvements for the University of Maine System, community college system and Maine Maritime Academy.

That will be followed by $5 million to purchase land and conservation easements, $51.5 million for improvements to highways, bridges and other transportation facilities, and $7.9 million for clean water projects.
