Preserving The American Political Philosophy

Two recent news stories in the Boothbay Register provide an oveview of what is going on in economic development in Boothbay. On October 4, 2018, in the article titled,  JEDC future hinges on filling vacant co-chair seat , Joseph Charpentier reported that the JECD, after spending 79000 to hire New York consultants to create an economic development master plan  for the entire peninsula, is in decline.
