Chuck Ellis sits down with Jon Fetherston, the newest reporter at The Maine Wire and a former Massachusetts selectman, to talk about why Maine politics can feel even more broken than the Bay State’s.
They discuss Secretary of State Shenna Bellows’ handling of the 2025 ballot problems, Election Day double standards at the polls, the collapse of local media in Maine, Jon’s experience with Biden-era migrant hotels in Massachusetts, illegal marijuana grows in rural Maine, and why they think Republicans keep losing ground: no bench, weak grassroots and too much public infighting.
