MAINE, USA — During the statewide primary election next month, Mainers will be able to vote to raise more money to expand high-speed internet.
The broadband referendum is asking voters to have Maine borrow $15-million dollars to help pay for new fiber-optic expansion.
That money would also require raising another $30 million from private sources, grants and the federal government, to bring the total to $45 million.
The election is on July 14th.
