Senators seek center to aid laid-off workers

Senate President Mark W. Lawrence, D-Kittery, and Sen. Marge Kilkelly, D-Wiscasset, have asked Gov. Angus King and the state Department of Labor to open a temporary job placement service in Wiscasset to address the needs of people losing jobs at Maine Yankee.

Kilkelly said she learned that some efforts were under way by Maine Yankee to assist laid-off workers, but she said these efforts do not go far enough and do not address “the ripple effect in the small-business community and public sector.”
