MPBN Interviews Acheson on New Poverty Report
Maine Public Broadcasting Network interviewed Ann Acheson of the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center for a Thursday Maine Things Considered news report about research done by the Center on poverty levels in Maine for the Maine Community Action Association. It says children and older Maine residents are increasingly living in poverty, and that an average of 45 percent of Maine schoolchildren qualify for free or reduced-cost school lunches. MPBN and the Canadian Business website also carried as Associated Press reports on the release Thursday of the study.
