Madison paper mill cutbacks has town looking for new funding

Madison Paper Industries, which once operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week, has cut back weekly production to Tuesday through Saturday, according to The Portland Press Herald. The cutback in production is expected to last three to six months, with no layoffs expected.
