AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) A Maine lawmaker has introduced a proposal to limit annoying text messages from political campaigns and advocacy groups.
Democratic Sen. Joe Rafferty of Kennebunk put the proposal before the Maine Legislature’s Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee. He said he was motivated to make the proposal after he was “barraged on a daily basis with text, spam calls and emails” last fall.
The proposal has been subject to a public hearing and will face more consideration in committee.
