Hype for the Future 59A: What is a Maine Plantation
Introduction Though New England has used the term “plantation” for a pre-town settlement since at least the early settlements in modern Massachusetts, the term has fallen out of common use in Southern New England, including Rhode Island, centuries in the past, with “Providence Plantations” becoming a name referring to Rhode Island history. Though the confusion of “plantations” with slavery and slave labor has resulted in the shortening of the name of the State of Rhode Island, […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/12/29/hype-for-the-future-59a-what-is-a-maine-plantation/

#Trump's government dismantling on the line in #court hearing over #MassLayoffs

When it comes to standing up to #Trump, I laud #Maine Governor #JanetMills. But when it comes to #Wabanaki #Sovereignty, building wind terminals on undeveloped islands (#SearsIsland / #Wahsumkik ), destroying untouched forests to supply #WesternMass with electricity, or building highways through farmland (#MDOT), we definitely DO NOT always see eye-to-eye!
Governor opposed to latest change to #SettlementAct backed by #WabanakiNations
by Emma Davis
Wed, April 9, 2025"Discussion of legislation to afford the Wabanaki Nations more authority over their land revealed that Gov. Janet Mills does not support the change, presenting a steep path for a plan that otherwise has bipartisan support.
"After not testifying during the public hearing last week, the governor’s counsel, Jerry Reid, told the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that Mills’ concerns stem from the inability to predict the future needs of state government, an issue also raised in written testimony from the #MaineDepartmentOfTransportation, which was made available after the hearing.
"When pressed by committee members, Reid said he doesn’t have a specific example of an infrastructure project that would warrant seizing tribal land but that, 'We need to write the law mindful of the potential for problems.'
"While Reid and Wabanaki leaders noted that progress has and continues to be made to improve the relationship between the state and Wabanaki Nations, Reid added, 'the fact that we have such a good relationship right now might not always be true.'
"The U.S. government can seize private property for public use, a principle known as eminent domain, however that authority is restricted by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which requires just compensation for land taken, as well as some federal laws.
"The 1834 federal Indian Nonintercourse Act prohibited land transactions with tribes unless authorized by Congress. However, the 1980 Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act specified that that federal law was not applicable to the #HoultonBand of #Maliseet Indians, the #PassamaquoddyTribe and the #PenobscotNation.
"This is the act that has overall resulted in the Tribes being treated more akin to #municipalities than #SovereignNations. So far, sweeping changes to the act have failed due to opposition from Mills, but the governor, lawmakers and Wabanaki leaders have successfully made some targeted adjustments, including expanding tribal authority to prosecute crimes last year.
"The legislation being considered this session, #LD958, would amend the Settlement Act to prohibit the state from exercising eminent domain on trust and reservation land, which is protected under federal law, though fee land — or private property for which the owner owns the title — would still be subject to the state taking.
"The bill would also amend the 2023 #MikmaqNationRestorationAct to make this change for the Mi’kmaq Nation, which wasn’t included in the Settlement Act.
"On Tuesday, the Taxation Committee unanimously voted in favor of a bill to ensure equal tax treatment among all of the Wabanaki Nations, which Mills supports. #LD982 would provide the #MikmaqNation the same rights to sales tax revenue on its land that the other three tribes of the Wabanaki Nations were granted in 2022 through an amendment to the Settlement Act.
State hasn’t exercised this authority in decades, but argues it’s necessary"The state hasn’t exercised eminent domain over #TribalLands since the #SettlementAct. However, testimony from Wabanaki leaders and state government officials underscore that it is a possibility."

#DonaldTrump Has Run Into #MoneyProblems Due To The #Cost Of His #Rallies
These #unresolved #debts aren't just a #burden for #city #governments; they also negatively impact the #taxpaying #residents of those #municipalities
— No City should be giving Trump any #credit, they should be demanding to be #paidupfront for their share of the #expenses related to his #propaganda #rallies.

「Research organisation #GoodGovernanceAfrica has published its latest analysis of the best and worst-performing #municipalities for 2024 – and the results throw up an interesting fact: #coalitions don’t necessarily result in catastrophe.
In no fewer than 10 of the 20 best-performing municipalities, no single party had an outright majority.[…]
But the number of successful #coalition administrations is surprising, considering the awful mess that the #Gauteng municipalities have got themselves into with their attempts.
Desai has some interesting ideas about the differences between municipalities that have performed well under coalitions and those that have not, but the results are important considering the possibility – or perhaps likelihood – that SA’s next national government may be a coalition.
It’s crucial to be aware that these results are not survey-based; they are drawn from as many factual sources as Good Governance Africa could dig up.
The organisation generates what it describes as a Governance Performance Index for each #municipality, including the metros, based on publicly available assessments. These include reports by the #AuditorGeneral, National Treasury, the Department of Water and Sanitation’s #BlueDrop, #GreenDrop and No Drop reports, and research measuring residents’ satisfaction with their municipality. 」 -
