Tuell testifies in support of veterans’ home funding bill
by Ruth Leubecker
Rep. Will Tuell, well-known for his tenacity in striving to reopen the Downeast Correctional Facility, is now making a plea with equal fervor for Maine Veterans Home - Machias.
LD 606 seeks full compensation for all Maine veterans’ homes, but will be of critical financial importance to the Machias veterans’ home. The bill, “Resolve, To Require the Department of Health and Human Services To Provide Cost-based Reimbursement to Maine Veterans' Homes,” is sponsored by Senator Louis Luchini (D-Hancock).
