BRUNSWICK, ME – As part of his ongoing effort to keep the people of Maine informed of his work in Washington, U.S. Senator Angus King recapped this week’s events in the nation’s capital.

In his weekly address, Senator King discussed:

• The Senate’s confirmation of Dr. William “Bro” Adams to be the next chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Dr. Adams previously served as the President of Colby College, a position he held since 2000.

• His frustration with the lack of productivity in the Senate, as yet another bill stalled because of disagreements surrounding the amendment process. Senator King continues to work with a group of both Democrats and Republicans in an effort to break the log jam.

• The important role that technology innovation can play in the fight against cancer. As a cancer survivor himself, Senator King knows firsthand how advanced technologies can save lives.

• His remarks on the Senate floor about the need to renew the Highway Trust Fund and not pass debt on to future generations.
