The State’s plan to sell the former Bucks Harbor Air Force base property received a tepid reception in the Legislature’s State and Local Government committee as lawmakers were left with more questions than answers during a March 21 public hearing featuring representatives from the Department of Administrative and Financial Services (DAFS), Representative Ken “Bucket” Davis (R-East Machias) who testified in opposition to the bill, and the Town of Machiasport which attempted to join the public hearing electronically.
