TIMES RECORD • September 19, 2024
I wish to offer my perspective regarding the recent political fallout and grandstanding from the AFFF accidental discharge at Maine Regional Redevelopment Authority Hangar 4. It’s discouraging to hear Sen. Mattie Daughtry asking for the resignation of Kristine Logan, MRRA director, as a result of the spill. Daughtry mentions a lack of transparency. I would ask Sen. Daughtry how many MRRA board meetings she has attended in the last four years. The board meetings are held quarterly and are open to her and her staff to attend. If she had attended, she would have realized that AFFF management has been a very frequent and important topic over the years. She and her staff could have been part of a solution, possibly bringing the resources of the State of Maine to assist. Instead, she was absent. ~ Stephen Savoie, Bowdoinham
