Lots of great stuff in this @mainemonitor piece by @thejoshkeefe but I'm stuck on the fact that one court asked him to send a FAX to get a ZOOM LINK 🙃 themainemonitor.org/judges-d…

For the @mainemonitor, I caught up with the state's first public defender's office. The Capitol Region PD office isn't just providing legal counsel, it's making waves and "challenging pieces of a criminal investigation that haven’t been challenged before."

In nearly 900 Maine criminal cases, defendants have no court-appointed attorneys. The state's first public defender's office hopes to find a way out of the crisis.

Today, @SAHogan received the Livingston Award for Local Reporting for her Maine Monitor investigation into Maine’s probate court system.
The investigation “is a shining example of local journalism at its finest,” said @KaraSwisher.

“Women who have children that are in addiction, even though they want to get better, they don’t want to leave their kids behind. That stops a lot of people out there from wanting to get help.” Read @emilykbader on Safe Harbor @mainemonitor themainemonitor.org/safe-har…

Few realize the range of Brookfield Renewable’s influence in Maine — from the state’s largest dam to its oldest wind farm to one of its only battery storage systems.

ICYMI, for the @mainemonitor I wrote about a case in which DHHS never provided the mother of a severely disabled child the nursing support she was legally entitled to. Instead, it moved to terminate her parental rights because she couldn't care for the child.

A recent court ruling, which one attorney called the most important child protective ruling in decades, shows how Maine’s lack of services can result in parents losing custody over their children.

The third part of my series for @mainemonitor and @propublica found the Maine health department rarely inspected care facilities after 115 cases in which residents “unsafely wandered” away. themainemonitor.org/wanderin…

Local govts in Maine are not required to report how they spend opioid settlement funds. But @emilykbader did the work of asking them all and uncovering the info for the public. Via @mainemonitor

Just a friendly reminder, Maine's news organizations are free to run stories from @mainemonitor. The @PressHerald has two of our stories on the top of its homepage today, including this one by me. Steal our stuff! pressherald.com/2024/05/02/l…

I'm reporting on pharmacy deserts in Maine and want to hear from people who don't have a local pharmacy. (If you have to drive 15 min to get to one, that's you!) Fill out this survey or email me @ emily@themainemonitor.org themainemonitor.org/help-us-…

I wrote the cover story for the latest @Harpers, about the shifting emphasis of climate change journalists from apocalyptic scenarios to assurances that things might work out okay, after all. Funny thing is, the science is no less dire than it ever was.

This is the most deeply personal story I’ve been a part of in six years of doing press work. @Elizabbarber beautifully captures the human tensions that can come with working to help animals.
I hope you'll give it a read and pass it along. Tears. 1/4
