PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • September 12, 2024
State and municipal leaders called Thursday for the immediate resignation of the head of Brunswick Landing for failing to disclose year-old deficiencies in an airport fire prevention system that malfunctioned and spilled more than 50,000 gallons of toxic foam in August. State Sen. Mattie Daughtry, D-Brunswick, singled out Kristine Logan, executive director of the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority, during a news conference outside Brunswick City Hall that was called after a story in the Portland Press Herald revealed the deficient inspection history. The group of Brunswick-area leaders also called for the immediate shutdown of the airport’s two other fire suppression systems that rely on foam containing toxic forever chemicals until they can work with Gov. Janet Mills to adopt a statewide policy to collect the foam, dispose of it and ban its use in Maine.
