Rockland, Maine - This morning Maine's Governor Paul LePage held a news at the 66th Maine Lobster Festival to anounce the new legislation [LD486] that will provide nearly 3 million dollars to promote Maine lobster in Asia, Europe and around the world. These will not be taxpayer dollars but money raised from the industry. It is hoped that this advertising will open and expand markets for Maine Lobster world wide.
This was also Milissa Philbrook the 2013 Maine Sea Goddess's first official duty of her reign.
