You have reached the page where I have kept my notes all these years. You can find a lot of information here but it is difficult to navigate.
I have created a downloadable timeline that is organized and designed for easy navigation. Since I am a user of the timeline myself, you can be sure that as I use it I am improving it with both updates on information and better navigation. To day I added dates to the chapters because I realized from my own use of the timeline that they are needed. I am also adding mini timelines of incrementalism for specific areas and making these into menu items as well.

10 §915. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND INTENT
The State of Maine has long had serious conditions of unemployment, underemployment, low per capital income and resource underutilization which cause substantial hardships to many individuals and families,impede the economic and physical development of various regions of the State, and adversely affect the general welfare and prosperity of the State. [1977, c. 548, §1 (NEW).]
There is a need to establish a new basis for a creative partnership of the private and public sectors for economic development, a partnership which can capitalize on the interests, resources and efforts of each sector, but which does not compromise the public interest or the profit motive. The state's solitary burden to provide for development should lessen through involving the private sector in a leadership role. [1977, (emphasis mine)
c. 548, §1 (NEW).]
Note: One often finds the statement that the corporation chartered by special act of legislation "shall be deemed and held to be an essential governmental function", as if in the legislature's rational - all that is needed to satisfy Article IV, Part Third Section 14 of teh Maine State Constituion are these few words. However the intent of the always a consideration in the interpretation of the. The the intent of Article IV, part Third Section 14 of teh Maine State Constitution were intended to by so easily bypassed by the liberal use of such "deeming", then there would seem to be little rational for going through the public process which voted in Article IV part Third Section 14 to be included in the Maine State Constitution

An Act To Enhance the Redevelopment of the Brunswick Naval Air Station 2010
september 26 2012 Note pertaining to above link.I was surprised to find that the link I maintain on my legislative link page on my blog, opens to a very short text, which identifies the MRRA as "a body corporate and politic and a public instrumentality of the state". This did not correspond to the text that my link had previously opened, to my recollection, which I found by going back into my previous post where I challenged the legislature on their constitutional authority to amend the charter of a municipal corporation. there I found the words that I quoted from the original charter, and through those words was able to find the text of the same.
I saved that to my hard drive and saw that I had also saved the original charter in 2010. The original charter as saved on my hard drive has the the title 5 §13083-G. MIDCOAST REGIONAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ESTABLISHED; GOALS . I googled the title to find that it links to the online version of the Maine State statutes, Section F which is greatly reduced text.
However- I was able to click through and find the other sections, particularly section I - which identifies the MRRA as a municipal corporation with the authority to acquire land by eminent domain- contradicting section G identifies the MRRA t as "a corporate body and instrumentality of the state"
Perhaps this is nothing more than a re-arrangement so that Section G displays in a more prominent location than Section I- but the original charter has clearly been amended and not by the "inhabitants of the municipality" as is stipulated in the Home Rule Amendment to the Maine State Constitution
This bill creates a fund to support Brunswick Naval Air Station redevelopment. Funds will be appropriated by the State, and the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority is authorized to receive funds from gifts, grants, devises, bequests, trusts or security documents. This bill sets forth goals to be pursued by the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority and directs the authority to include a report on its progress toward those goals in its annual report to the Governor and the Legislature. The Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority is given power to act as an airport authority. This bill also directs the Maine Community College System to establish the Advanced Technology and Engineering Center as a campus of Southern Maine Community College at Brunswick Naval Air Station.
