Podcast: Why Are Maine Kids' Test Scores Dropping, And Should We Care?
The Beacon team also looks at the history of the Christian Civic League and why its profile has risen in this election.
This week, Cate, Nora and Ben gorge themselves on a buffet of this week’s news and what’s burbling up in our state’s politics. The team looks at the history of the Christian Civic League and why its profile has risen in this election; checks in on some NIMBYism in Lewiston; talks about Maine’s national standardized test scores and how many grains of salt they should be taken with; and compares the records of Senate District 1 candidates on worker rights.
