This week on @inthearenamaine.bsky.social, @patcallaghan6.bsky.social asks if it was "Smart" or "Not Smart" for the Maine GOP to raise $$$ off a guy who was convicted of assaulting cops. Below is my answer. Go to wmtw.com/inthearena for the full discussion. @wmtwchannel8.bsky.social

There was a year when Maine had 4 Governors? Yes, there was. Feel free to guess the year below. Otherwise, watch "In The Arena" at storystudio.wmtw.com/inthearena/ to find out about this tidbit in Maine history. @patcallaghan6.bsky.social @wmtwchannel8.bsky.social @terrystackhouse.bsky.social
