Monday night, the chair of the Brunswick Town Council, Abby King, will address last month's firefighting foam spill at Brunswick Executive Airport. She is expected to address an inspection report revealing potential problems more than a year ago. Last month, thousands of gallons of foam spilled at the airport, leading to a big environmental cleanup involving PFAS, or “forever chemicals.” Thursday, lawmakers called for the resignation of Kristine Logan, the executive director of the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority. Logan previously said they had "clean tests" of the fire suppression system at that hangar. It’s been revealed that the agency had an inspection report from July of 2023 showing there were deficiencies. “I have friends who have farms not that far from that spill,” State Sen. Mattie Daughtry said. “It not only could be costly to them, but to the state and the town…when there reports saying there were deficiencies in that system.”
