The second TV debate between Gov. Janet Mills and former Gov. Paul LePage was focused heavily on policy. The former governor continued to push out the boundaries on where he would support offshore wind in Maine, an issue he has used to some effect against Mills. He has opposed a test wind farm that would be sited 30 miles offshore in federal waters, saying in the past it should be at least 40 miles out. On Monday, he said it should not even be in federal waters, which extend 200 miles offshore. That would make any such project untenable.
