One month after 51,000 gallons of toxic firefighting foam spilled at Brunswick Executive Airport, the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority Board met for the first time to hear and deliberate actions demanded by residents, town and legislative leaders. After a two-hour meeting — including just over an hour of public comments, where residents slammed the MRRA for its response to the spill, the board voted to go into executive session to discuss personnel matters, namely to address calls for Executive Director Kristine Logan’s resignation. Nichols said after executive session, “We’re going to do everything we can to make this right. I think It’s our obligation to do what’s right for the environment and our mission and we’ll continue to do that. And we have all the confidence of [Logan] as well.”
