Teacher Mickie Flores and adult family members accompanied Aalie Klemenz and Rosalie Bayley to Stonington Town Hall on Monday, March 2. Three days later, Billy Gove and Ashton Larrabee came to Deer Isle Town Offices with the same message.

“This law will save taxpayers money by shifting the cost and responsibility of disposal to producers,” said Rosalie Bayley.
