If elected, Scease said she will try to find solutions through negotiation and collaboration, rather than mandates. She favors the state's Learning Results but says schools need more funding to carry them out. Scease believes the state should increase the minimum wage. With her children grown and the family business sold, Dutille said she now has the time to help people in the district. That's my whole heart, that's what I want to do.
Education is a top priority.
She supported building a new school in Bowdoin, recently approved by voters in School Administration District 75. Teacher pay is another issue. They should be paid accordingly. Dutille wants to expand the low cost drug program, and long-term health care to keep seniors in their homes as long as possible. Lowering taxes is another priority.
