Adam CoteThe former Democratic candidate for Maine’s 1st Congressional District has been nominated by Governor Baldacci to serve on the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority. Cote's nomination, which must be approved by the Legislature's Business, Research and Economic Development Committee, would fill one of two vacancies on the MRRA, which oversees the future civilian development of the Brunswick Naval Air Station when the Navy departs in 2011. |

That is tougher than it sounds, and a plus for voters who will have a choice in all 35 Senate districts in Maine. It’s a different story for the House, where Democrats left two vacancies and Republicans left 17. |
