In the year 1999, I wrote down in a journal a list of what I thought would change and what I thought would stay the same in the new millennium. We become one with the rest of Maine, linked by water, woods, and land.Former Governor Joshua Chamberlain described this link back in 1876:“This great and wide sea…these beaches and bays and harbors…these things invite the brave, the noble…Thought comes here and dwells…They will love the land, and the land will give back strength.”The Wabanaki people know this bond.

This office will dive into major policy challenges, foster collaboration and propose concrete, workable solutions.Now here’s how I want to govern.We are all in this together. Augusta, MAINE – Governor Janet Mills today outlined her vision for a gradual and safe reopening of Maine’s economy amid the novel coronavirus … Governor Janet Mills announced today a series of steps her Administration is taking to assist and support school systems across Maine as they consider whether and how to return to in-classroom instruction this fall. Our new Administration will embrace clean energy; change our modes of transportation; weatherize homes and businesses, and reach a goal of 50 percent of our electricity coming from Maine renewable resources.These actions will create good-paying jobs, preserve our environment, and welcome young people to build a green future here in Maine.And, by the way, when you drive by the Blaine House in the next few weeks, look for the new solar panels that we are going to install!We need a healthy environment. Governor Janet Mills and the Maine CDC announced today Maine’s first presumptive positive case of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in … They are our friends, our neighbors. Janet Mills’ entire inaugural addressRead, watch Gov. 3. Many of you have friends like Patty. Government alone cannot fix things, government doesn't have all the answers; we need the best thinking of Maine people from every industry and every corner of the state to reimagine and reinvent how we do things in this state in a way that protects both lives and livelihoods.More specifically, the Administration’s approach will utilize criteria and measures currently under development by the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention leading to a phased reopening of the economy. 4. When future generations read of this day, they will wonder what the fuss was about. As you can see, I cannot rely on myself to predict the future.I am following the advice of writer Kurt Vonnegut, who said “Every government ought to have a Department of the Future.” And so my administration will create an Office of Innovation and the Future. Attracting talented young people to move here and make Maine their home will be a top priority of my Administration.From now on, a sign will greet all those arriving in our state at the Kittery line.It will say, quite simply: “Welcome Home. Instead, we have to invent a new normal – a different way of doing business, shopping, traveling, and recreating that keeps all of us safe,” said Governor Mills. Even as I speak, there is someone within the sound of my voice about to consume a deadly drug, jeopardizing themselves, their friends, their families, and their communities.If that person is listening, please know that I–and many others -- are here for you. Yet two out of three jobs require such credentials. It is unacceptable.In the memory of Patty and thousands of others, our new Administration will expand Medicaid - and pay for it sustainably; work to ensure that every person has primary care; control the cost of health insurance; and rein in the cost of prescription drugs.A major part of the health care crisis is the opioid epidemic.History will note that we have abandoned an entire generation of people to this preventable disease.The allure of opiates can fill a hole in the human heart caused by loneliness, stress, and hopelessness. Now our state must find its own common ground, expand our horizons and become one Maine again.From the tree streets of Lewiston to the rolling fields of the County, from the Bold Coast to the Height of Land, from Cross Rock in Allagash to Portland’s Promenades, our people will once again find unity of purpose.We will bring back Maine’s tradition of civil discourse, expressed by Governor Israel Washburn, a friend of Abraham Lincoln’s, in his 1861 inaugural:“Waving aside petty schemes and unseemly wrangles…let us rise, if we can, to the height of the great argument which duty and patriotism so eloquently address to us.”You know, I have fallen in love a few times in my life. The Mills Administration announced today an investment of $1 million from the Coronavirus Relief Fund to significantly and quickly expand services to help reduce the disproportionately large racial and ethnic disparities in COVID-19 in Maine.Governor Janet Mills announced today that MaineHousing will double its rental assistance from $500 to $1,000 through the COVID-19 Rental Relief Program beginning next Monday, August 3rd.
