Anti-consolidation rally postponed
Ellsworth American, September 27, 2007
(excerpt) A rally to kick off a petition drive to repeal Maine’s school consolidation law has been postponed, Lawrence “Skip” Greenlaw, chairman of the Maine Coalition to Save Schools, said this week.
Originally scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 29, the kickoff rally has been postponed and will be rescheduled in October.
Greenlaw said the petition drive has been delayed because the wording of the petition awaits approval from the office of the revisor of statutes.
The coalition formed after Greenlaw sought support statewide for an effort to repeal the state’s school reorganization law that mandates the number of school units statewide be reduced from 290 to about 80.
Coalition members expect to get the 55,087 petition signatures required to bring the repeal question to a referendum vote.
