Members of the Legislature’s Veterans and Legal Affairs committee heard testimony last week on a bill that seeks to adjust rates Maine Veterans Homes across the state are reimbursed for care. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Brad Farrin (R-Somerset), comes on the heels of an emergency bill last year that provided one-time funds to the statewide nonprofit agency to keep facilities in Caribou and Machias open and questions over MVH’s financial practices.
