We are a full-time family with jobs and daycare during the week, so trips to Maine’s state parks are our course correction when life needs to slow down a bit. They refocus us and help the little things become big things again. A bill is being considered in the Maine Legislature this year, LD 983, to invest $20 million in our state parks and $60 million in the Land for Maine’s Future program over the next five years. With interest in the outdoors at an all-time high and bond interest rates at a low, now is the time for a bond package to support Maine’s outdoor industry and heritage. ~ Raymond and Danielle Ruby, Portland
