Earlier this week, the Legislature passed to be enacted LD 1923, An Act To Establish the Maine Space Corporation. Introduced by Sen. Mattie Daughtry (D-Cumberland), this bill had a list of bipartisan cosponsors. LD 1923 received a strong bipartisan vote in the Legislature, passing unanimously in the Maine House of Representatives, and by a vote of 23-7 in the Maine State Senate.
