School consolidation repeal fails for 2008

Kennebec Journal (update), January 22, 2008

(excerpt) The head of a group gathering signatures to try to overturn the state’s school district consolidation law said today they will not have enough signatures to get the issue on the ballot this year.

Skip Greenlaw, chairman of the Maine Coalition to Save Schools, said they will continue to collect signatures in hopes of putting the measure forward in 2009.
