Specter of layoffs looms at Maine Military Authority
Company officials at the Maine Military Authority in Limestone notified employees about the potential of layoffs in two weeks.
The Associated Press reported that the Thursday announcement doesn’t mean that layoffs are definite, but come at a time of financial difficulties for the quasi-state agency.
In late September, Gov. Paul LePage halted a contract executed by the Maine Military Authority following the discovery that the $19 million agreement to refurbish buses for the Boston-area transit system was underbid, leading to added taxpayer costs and jeopardizing Aroostook County jobs.
LePage, Maine Military Authority officials and the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority will be meeting in the near future to review the program, according to the AP.
