| Jail spending proposal up by $2 million - plus
The Two Bridges Regional Jail's proposed operating budget for 2008-2009 is $7.8 million, an increase of over $2 million, or 47 percent, from the $4.7 million in the current budget. The total proposed budget, including the increase in the debt service would cost Lincoln County a total of $4.4 million, an increase of $1.25 million over last year. The proposed budget would cost Sagadahoc County $3.4 million, an increase of about $1 million over last year. The two counties built the jail in Wiscasset with the provision that Lincoln would pay 57 percent of the cost, and Sagadahoc 43 percent, reflecting the number of inmates that would be sent from each of the two counties. The new Correctional Administrator Leonard LeGrand said the increase is in part due to the uncertainties in the proposed state consolidation plan.

Hadley: I can cut taxes
Wausau has some 38,000 people. Most of them don't know Deb Hadley, but it seems like everyone thinks they know her. That's what you might expect when your face, or your sons' faces, are plastered on billboards, city buses and television screens. As office manager for Hadley Office Products and the spouse of its owner, Deb Hadley is inextricably linked to its advertisements. Deserved or not, her reputation also is the result of her role in two controversial periods of Wausau's life. She began to build her public profile in the summer of 1993, when she and her husband, Mark, joined a group of parents angry about a Wausau School District plan to create partner schools -- which eliminated most of the K-5 neighborhood schools in favor of "paired" schools of kindergarten though second grade, and third through fifth grade.
