36 contested legislative primaries decided Tuesday While statewide turnout was expected to be low and indeed was voters in Orono apparently didn't get the message as they turned out in healthy numbers to decide a competitive Senate fight between Democrats George Jacobson and Elizabeth Schneider in District 30 For weeks leading up to the primary streets in the summer-subdued college town were lined with signs for both candidates On Main Street one lawn featured signs for each within a few feet of each other Before heading to the polls the woman who preferred not to be identified explained the reason behind her apparent dual allegiances just figured they both want to do it see who wins" said the woman who later elaborated on her request for anonymity "It's a small town" she whispered through the screen door Based on early returns Schneider a town councilor was leading Jacobson in her quest to challenge Republican Rep Anita Peavey-Haskell of Greenbush for the seat It last was held by Democrat Mary Cathcart who was forced out by term limits In the race for the open District 33 seat Russell Treadwell of Carmel was holding a narrow lead over fellow Republicans Debra Plowman of Hampden and Kenneth Fredette of Newport The winner will challenge Democrat Jane Cronk in November Meanwhile in Washington County it appeared Republican Kevin Raye could have an opponent in the District 29 race with Democrat Kim Bagley poised to earn enough write-in votes Tuesday to place her name on the November ballot There were also several contested House primaries Tuesday including a race between Democrats Mike Dunn and Torvic Var-damis both of Bangor for a chance to replace Perry in the House Based on early unofficial results Dunn was leading Var-damis by a substantial margin Question 1 Continued from Page A 1 municipalities about $250 million annually that could be used to lower property taxes Because the measure includes no funding mechanism the Legislature has 45 days from the day it next convenes to craft legislation to fund the plan The Legislature is not scheduled to convene again until January Question 1 calls for the additional education funding to be provided in the 2005 fiscal year that begins July 1 2004 Some supporters have maintained the state should immediately provide municipalities: with the full 55 percent share while others have said they would be willing reach the target incrementally over a few years While supporters claim they are only shifting responsibility for educational funding back to the appropriate source opponents have maintained that forcing the state immediately to pay 55 percent of school costs would only force lawmakers and the governor to raise taxes elsewhere or decimate state programs or possibly both Gov John Baldacci

while lifting the polling station curtain for her 3-year-old son Brendon before casting her vote in the Knights of Columbus Hall in Old Town Tuesday afternoon Parlee said she came to the polls to vote only on Question 1 since she is an independent the promise of launching a more intensive look at state tax policy in a future legislative session With 51 percent of eligible Maine voters casting ballots for all three questions last fall Question 1A received 38 percent of the vote followed by Question IB with 35 percent and Question 1C with 27 percent Maine law requires competing questions in such referendums to receive a majority of the vote in order to prevail In the absence of a majority decision the law demands the question with the highest number of votes to appear unopposed on the ballot in the next special or regular election vide an additional $70 million for education next year On Nov 4 voters addressed Question 1 when it appeared on the ballot as Question 1A along with a competing measure Question IB and a none-of-the-above choice known as Question 1C Question 1A arrived on the ballot as a citizen initiative spearheaded by the MMA a lobbying and consultant group for municipalities in a petition drive that attracted more than 100000 signatures Ensuing efforts by the Legislature the governor and the MMA failed to produce a compromise that would avert the need to place the question on the ballot Question 1A moved forward and its opponents planned their counterattack Concerned that passage of 1A could result in serious funding cutbacks for the Business Equipment Tax Reimbursement program many of the large industries got behind the governor and the Legislature's efforts to short-circuit Question 1A They developed a competing measure called Question IB that promised to reach the 55 percent education funding target over five years rather than the immediate payoff demanded by MMA and MEA A third political action committee called for Mainers to reject both proposals by voting for Question 1C with Former SC Gov Beasley makes runoff for Senate seat Kerry takes campaign break to honor Reagan South to come open this year will be among the most
