PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Mainers are being asked Tuesday if they want to approve a $100 million bond for transportation projects.
Most of the money would go toward highways and bridges, while $15 million would go to other projects focusing on rail, aviation and ports.
If approved, the proposal will bring in $253 million in federal funds.
Such bonds have passed by healthy margins over the last half-dozen years. If it doesn’t pass, then projects could get cut or pushed back.
