The federal government has denied the state's appeal for an emergency declaration following a late March blizzard in northern Maine that clogged roads and led to extraordinary snow-removal costs.

Sen. Olympia Snowe said she was disappointed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency denied the appeal, which would have freed up public assistance to help with snow removal and other costs associated with the storm from March 19-22.

1. I see that

I wonder how they will make out with flood relief? they certainly got hit hard. I spent
several years working on military installations in and around the Caribou area. was there in 1955 when the old record was set. lots of hard working nice people there. they deserve all the help they can muster.
that's where fiddle heads are served in season!
