With the ballooning cost of cars, one of the few options for affordable motor vehicles open to us working class folks are imported JDMs (Japanese Domestic Market). These vehicles can be legally imported, as many of them are 25 years or older, yet the state of Maine has made it impossible to import them due […]

In normal times, I would be pleased to read that Sens. Collins and King helped appropriate funding for Maine from the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program. The $369,364 will be used by the Maine State Police to support the Special Victims Unit’s (SVU) efforts to protect children from […]
