Town of Buxton 185 Portland Road Buxton, ME 04093 Dear Friends: Thank you for electing me to serve as your State Representative. Serving the residents of House District 16 in the Maine Legislature is a responsibility that I take very seriously, and I am honored that you have entrusted me to be your voice at our State Capitol. This session, our biggest priorities will be to address the ongoing public health crisis and the ensuing economic challenges. Maine is facing a serious budget shortfall over the next three years, and difficult decisions will have to be made so that we can prioritize resources and confront these challenges together. It is also critical to work on issues that have predated the pandemic, and to this end, I am pleased to report that I have introduced bipartisan legislation that would pave the way for Hollis to build a new municipal complex using money from the Town’s T.I.F. fund. This bill is a critical first step to building a new and improved community building that townspeople have been requesting for many years. With the use of remote meetings and hearings, the Legislature is now more accessible than ever. Using the homepage of the Maine Legislature: www . legislature.maine.gov , you will find access to live broadcasts of legislative meetings and links to recorded meetings. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at any time. To join my weekly eNewsletter featuring current state news, please contact me at Nathan.Carlow@legislature.maine.gov and I will happily add you to my distribution. Again, it is an honor to represent you in Augusta. I wish you all a safe and healthy year. Sincerely,

Nathan M. Carlow State Representative

District 16 Buxton (part), Hollis & Saco (part)
