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 (I-Maine) recapped this week’s events in the nation’s capital:

• The announcement from the Department of Labor that displaced workers from the Verso paper mill in Bucksport are eligible for critical Trade Adjustment Assistance. These benefits include employment training for another job or career, income support, and other services.  

• His decision to vote against a bill that would have circumvented the Obama Administration’s continuing review of the Keystone Pipeline.

• His willingness to debate the merits of the USA Freedom Act, a bill that would reform the way our government collects intelligence that passes through the U.S. communications systems. The bill stalled on the Senate floor on Tuesday.
