Committee advances opt‑out community choice aggregation bill after amendments and debate The committee reported LD 2112 'ought to pass as amended' by an 8–5 vote after discussion and amendments that would convert Maine’s community choice aggregation framework from opt‑in to opt‑out, require municipal approval processes, protect customers on assistance, and add a local referendum requirement and changes to data‑sharing provisions.

Maine's energy landscape is changing as lawmakers push for a new community choice aggregation bill that could revolutionize how residents access electricity!

Government abandons plans to delay 30 local council elections in May - UK politics live The government was warned by its lawyers that sucha move could be illegal as it pledges an additional £63m to help councils with reorganisation

Another climbdown after another assault on Democracy. We can rush through legislation to ban social media for kids (but leave the filth on social media alone) but it takes years and years to rejig local democracy....it's almost like Labour doesn't really know […]

Rural educators and a student tell Education Committee new Act 73 maps threaten small-town schools School leaders and a student from Orleans County told the Education Committee on Feb. 13 that maps tied to Act 73 and a shift toward larger elected school districts could depersonalize decisions, threaten small schools and fail to deliver promised savings; witnesses also flagged rising health, transportation and special-education costs.

Rural educators and students warn that new proposals could jeopardize small-town schools and diminish local representation in Vermont's education system.

This Bill talks about devolution, but vague wording risks weak participation.

Amendment 60 would set clear minimum standards so communities genuinely shape decisions.

#LocalDemocracy #CommunityVoice

Local government reorganisation should not be rushed through from the centre and dressed up as devolution. Change can work — but only when it has local consent.

If ministers truly believe in devolution, they must trust communities to shape their own future.
