AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap has announced the order of the two bond questions that’ll be on the July 14 ballot.

Question 1 will be a $15 million bond issue to invest in high-speed internet infrastructure in rural or underserved areas.

Question 2 will be $105 million transportation bond supporting highways and bridges, and projects related to railroads, harbors and aviation.

The ballot questions will be decided on the same day as the state primary election, which was pushed back to July 14 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
