Rep. Corey to serve on Appropriations Committee
Corey will also serve on the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee
State Representative Patrick W. Corey (R-Windham) has been appointed to the 130th Maine Legislature’s Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs. He will also serve on the Joint Standing Committee on Veterans and Legal Affairs. These two committees are among the most sought after legislative assignments. The Appropriations Committee reviews the Governor’s budget submissions and recommends changes to the full Legislature.
“State spending, budget and tax policy directly affects every Maine citizen,” said Rep. Corey. “The pandemic has complicated an already difficult budget situation, with massive, projected revenue shortfalls in the foreseeable future. We will need to work together to set priorities and protect our most vulnerable citizens without raising taxes on people, businesses and families struggling to survive because of the pandemic.”
Rep. Corey, a self-employed creative director and marketer, is serving his fourth term representing District 25: Windham (part). He previously served on the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee, Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee and the Joint Select Committee on Marijuana Legalization and Implementation. He is also a member of the Maine Marijuana Advisory Commission.
It Is Not Too Late To License Your Dog
Executive Order 29 FY 20/21 allows dog owners extra time to license their animals. Owners now have until June 2, 2021, to renew overdue dog licenses. Licenses are available online and pet owners are strongly encouraged to renew license(s) before June 2 to avoid late fees. Veterinarian-administered rabies vaccinations and immunizations are required to be kept current. A rabies certificate is required when applying for a license.
Why was this Executive Order necessary?
- Dogs traditionally must be vaccinated and registered within their municipalities by the end of the calendar year.
- At the start of the pandemic, many licensing requirements were temporarily suspended, including dog licensing.
- With municipalities now operating at near pre-pandemic hours and in the interest of animal health, the licensure requirement has been reinstated.
- Pet owners with overdue licenses have until June 2, 2021, to renew dog licenses.
