[applause] y >> thank you very much.

mr. president, madam speaker, madam chief justice, distinguished members of the 131st legislature, members of my extraordinary cabinet and our guests, thank you for joining me tonight. i am pleased to be joined by the constitutional offices of the state and members of my cabinet as i mentioned including the major general who is retiring next month and brigadier general diane done soon to become the first woman commissioner of veterans and emergency management. thank you for being here. [applause] please join me in recognizing nearly 40 years of decorated

service and and welcoming and the project -- brigadier general again. [applause] i am also joined by members of my family including my daughter tammy and my sister and her children and my brothers peter and paul. tonight we are sadly missing my brother david who passed away last friday. i will honor him tonight and my thoughts. my approach to the state of the state this year is a little bit unorthodox and a departure from those the past. a change from the tradition in which the chief justice stands before you to discuss a series

of high-profile issues, challenges, and opportunities. the state of the state address true to its storied purpose must be a reflection of the times. these times especially these past few months. they have been anything but normal for me. maine people value straight talk so i will put it to you straight. we got a very rough couple of months. we have been tested time and time again. we have some pretty serious stuff to talk about. in late october a gunman took the lives of 18 innocent civilian citizens from ages 14 to 76 and injured many more physically and emotionally in an act of senseless and unconscionable violence that devastated our communities and shook our sense of security.

the worst mass shooting in maine history . the 10th worth -- worst in our nations history. in december another traumatic event hit us as heavy rains and powerful winds brought massive flooding and destroyed homes and businesses, roads and bridges. four people lost their lives. in january, two more violent storms caused some of the highest tides ever. it swept fish houses into the sea and kicked pilings out from under once sturdy peers, broke dunes and breakwaters. chewed up roads and seawalls, wiped storekeepers dry of stock and change the very landscape of the coast. these things break our hearts. now, maine people do not

welcome crisis or disaster but we will always rise to meet them . in these difficult times when it sometimes feels like we have little control over our fate and future, the people of maine have banded together in support of one another and our communities and our state like never before. it is because of maine people, because of their undying and unyielding resilience and results in the hardest of times that the state of our state is strong. [applause] it is because of you, the people of maine , that i am more confident than ever before

in the future of our state and our ability to prepare for and overcome whatever challenges the future has in store. what gives me cause for such optimism in the face of such loss and hardship? look no further than the simple acts of kindness, compassion, and generosity demonstrated by people across maine in the wake of these recent storms . when the's dairy barn was destroyed by powerful winds, his neighbors brought his cows to safety and shelter. when the fishing boat the tara lynn 2 ran aground on the rocks of cape elizabeth in the height of the storm, fire and rescue crews those rough seas twice in the middle of the night to rescue all four people on board. when the storms in january threatened to toss jay brown's

boatyard into the sea that fixture that has withstood storms since 1855, this whole community stepped up to save it young and old, friends and family. when the storm receded and the boatyard still stood strong and tall for a said it worked. it worked because the whole town turned out for us. that is what maine people do. we take care of each other . we roll up our sleeves and rebuild. with help from the federal government and the support of this legislature, and with the ingenuity and grit that are the hallmarks of maine people, we will rebuild stronger than ever . like other states, also feeling the brunt of extreme

weather events, maine is not safe from climate change. we know more storms will come and make no mistake about it. it is climate change that is causing storms to be more frequent, more intense, and more devastating. the ocean is warming, the sea is rising, the winds are wilder. we no longer know the storms and winters of yesterday because when we burn fossil fuels like gas, oil and natural gas we expel harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. those gases envelop our planet, trap heat and moisture that melts the ancient glaciers, raises sea levels and increases global temperatures. the scientists know this. the meteorologists know this. farmers, fishermen, forrester's

now this. sportsman know this. our kids know this. we all know. we will address climate change in the long-term by investing in clean energy, by weatherizing homes and businesses, by expanding the network of ev chargers and advancing cleaner and more efficient technologies like heat pumps while also creating good paying green collar jobs. informed by the work of the maine climate counsel the scientists, citizens, business leaders and state and local officials, we lead the nation in many of these respects. in fact, we have exceeded the original goal for installing heat pumps and have set a new and more ambitious goal. as a result of the cleanest energy initiatives we are

seeing significant capital investments in the state creating new jobs and new businesses. we have the fastest growing clean energy economy and all of new england. we must and we will continue to address climate change in the long-term for the health of our people, the health of our environment, the health of our economy. we have to take immediate steps right now to make towns, homes, and businesses more resilient to climate change and these awful storms. thankfully we've laid the groundwork for how we do that. in 2021 with the support of the maine climate counsel we organized the community resilience partnership which communities plan for the impacts of climate change. 175 cities, towns, and tribal governments have taken part in

this program. we awarded more than $6 million to them one of those is rockland, the city that was hard-hit the recent storms, as you know. recognizing the waterfront pierce and sewall are deteriorating and in need of repairs even before the storm, these resiliency funds were used not only to plan for the rebuild of the pier and sewall, but they use them to make long desired improvements to public spaces and infrastructure. having that plan in place gives rockland a clear path towards obtaining other available funds and protecting and strengthening the downtown waterfront. this is important work. cities and towns across maine are on the front lines. these recent storms underscore the importance of fortifying them in the long term.

tonight i am proposing to add $5 million to the community resilience partnership to allow another 100 cities, towns, and tribal governments to identify vulnerabilities to extreme weather events and be ready for the next storm, the next flood, the next washout, the next threats to our bridges, piers, and homes. let's give them the tools to continue this desperately needed work and let's turn those plans into action. in 2021 we recruit created the maine infrastructure adaptation fund providing grants to municipalities, tribal governments and others to improve infrastructure that is vulnerable to flooding, rising sea levels and other weather events. exactly the type of upgrades that will help communities better withstand the type of storms we are seeing now. for example, in kennebunkport,

the town is using a grant to raise the road that leads to the island and utilities underneath it and to improve stormwater runoff to mitigate the impacts of flooding, prevent road closures, reduce disruption for commercial fishermen and the need for costly repairs. in winslow they are replacing stormwater structures with larger ones that will handle more water to reduce the risk of flooding and property damage . these are commonsense projects that will strengthen our resiliency in the long run. tonight i propose that we bolsters this infrastructure fund with $50 million from the record high a rainy day fund to allow communities to build and rebuild infrastructure, roads, culverts, working waterfronts, stormwater systems, to make them tough enough to withstand the impacts of climate change. essentially i'm talking about

taking from the rainy day fund to respond to some pretty rainy days we've had and some pretty rainy days ahead to respond to the rainy days we've at the same time we will seek every available federal dollars for disaster resistance and resiliency. the sooner we can get state funds to towns to get things running up again. as we prepare for those to come, so to will

we recover and repair from those shocking events that have threatened our personal security, community safety, the very character of our state. it is time to have a conversation about violence. violence in the media that pervade our subconscious. violence and homes, streets, towns, and schools. violence in america, violence abroad, violence that has been an all too common and all too wrong way to resolve differences. violence that we know all too well this past year on a scale previously unknown to us. on monday, october 23, we boasted we were the safest state in the nation with the

lowest violent crime rate in the country according to the fbi. we relished the easy comfort of this that attracts people to our state took the sense of personal safety along with our natural beauty and the sense of place and community unmatched in other parts of the country. on october 25, everything changed. folks at just in time recreation and at the bar and grill just doing what many people do all the time, bowling with their kids, enjoying a cold beer and a game of corn hole after work, spending time with family and friends. those people had their lives shattered by gunfire. darkness descended on our state. 18 people lost their lives to a senseless act of violence. many others injured, tens of

thousands of people sheltered in place for several days. restaurants, shops, retailers, public buildings shuttered. college students locked themselves in libraries and dorms and classrooms. the streets emptied. and erie paul of silence enveloped our state. those moments of darkness were also punctuated by great heroism. heroism when jason walker, michael the laurier, and joe walker each rushed the shooter in a courageous attempt to stop him and lost their lives. [applause]

restaurants, shops, retailers, public buildings college students locked themselves in libraries and dorms and classrooms. or when tom instinctively ushered a group of children out the back door of the bowling alley getting shot himself seven times in the legs while saving those young lives. or when somebody still unknown turned the lights off to obscure the vision of the shooter [applause] there was heroism as first responders came from far and wide to help. when every doctor anderson healthcare worker answered the call and came running and did everything they could to save lives. when aerosol interpreters from near and far

though reeling from the loss of four of their own stepped up in their own moment of grief to ensure that crucial information was delivered to those who are deaf and hard of hearing and so many more. [applause] ordinary people demonstrating extraordinary courage. an example of the resilience and resolve of maine people. we are joined by tom and by the lewiston police chief. the maine state police lieutenant colonel and squad.

all of them worked as an incredible team of officials. by our wonderful asl interpreters regan thibodeau, amanda eisenhower. julia schafer who remain on the job today. thank you [applause] he was the state champion in 2022. [applause] another fact about tom. he was

the state senior bowling champion in 2022. [applause]. tonight we acknowledge all of them, recognizing their heroism and that of their loved ones and in honoring the memories of those we lost. please know that maine people are standing by your side , offering what comfort we can in a moment of immeasurable pain. we know that the pain and hardship of the tragedy will last a lifetime. in recognition of that, i propose that we create a fund similar to the one created in virginia last year to cover the medical needs and health needs of those injured last october long into the future. i propose that we capitalize it with an initial investment of $5 million. we know that the

road to healing will belong, but we will help you walk it. [applause] we also know that many people in maine still feel a lingering sense of anxiety and vulnerability, a feeling of being unsafe. our calm complacency has been shaken to the core. i know there are some that made to -- may prefer to consider the shootings and aberration. product of one unstable individual who went on an unconscionable rampage that is unlikely to recur. many people felt it was unlikely to occur before october 25. honestly the hope that it won't happen again is of little

comfort to the children, the grandchildren, the wives, partners, and parents who in an instant lost a child, spouse, breadwinner, staple of the community, who now face an uncertain future without them. it gives no comfort to the people of our second-largest city and surrounding towns or other businesses, schools, shops, and homes for the shooter on the run required them to shelter in place for 48 long hours. it gives no comfort at all to the people last april who were shot by a violent felon recently released from prison. they were simply driving down a public highway minding their business. this, after he had already killed his parents and two other people in their home it gives no comfort to the families who have lost loved ones to the

tragedy of suicide, domestic violence. yes, we are different than other states. violence is here. it does exist here in the state of maine. it strikes at the heart of who we are and everything we hold dear for this precious place we call home. i have heard some say that a dangerous person will always find a way and no new laws can prevent that. there is some truth to that. a person who is intent on doing harm to himself or others, for whatever reason may well succeed. but the idea that we should not make laws, change policies just because they will be broken creates a cynical attitude that certain bad things are just inevitable and we cannot do anything about it. i for one refuse to give in to

that idea. i refuse to let it stop us from taking action some have said, it is really just a mental health issue and we just need to fix our behavioral health system and the violence will end. certainly there may be people with mental health issues who commit violent crimes, but the vast majority of people with those issues do not commit violent crimes. it would be wrong to stereotype anyone who has mental health problems as a potentially violent individual. i have heard other things we should not do anything until the independent commission finishes its work. they are right that the findings of that commission may very well result in conclusions that need a policy remedy. we will welcome the conclusions when they are ready, but fixing our laws to address a single

attack does nothing to anticipate those other acts of violence which we might with wise actions prevent. actions with might also restore our sense of personal safety, actions whose time i believe have come. because for the sake of the communities, individuals, and families now suffering immeasurable pain, for the sake of our state doing nothing is not an option. [applause] throughout my time in office i tried to bring people together, lawmakers and law enforcement, public health and others

throughout my time in office, i have tried to bring people together. lawmakers, law enforcement, public health, and others to achieve enduring reforms that strengthen public safety and protect constitutional rights and honor maine's long-standing outdoor traditions. you on a bipartisan basis have agreed. together we have enacted laws that allow judges to remove weapons from people under domestic violence orders. lost to ensure that survivors of domestic violence are notified if their abuser tries to purchase a firearm. penalties for purchases of firearms. incentives for the safe storage of firearms. funding for the maine school safety center to help make school safe and an extreme risk protection law to remove people from someone who is a

danger to themselves or others with appropriate due process protections. these measures were not easy to achieve. they were the product of great discussion and debate but together we got them done. to me they are the type of pragmatic and responsible solutions we can also achieve this session. in recent months my office has talked with republican and democratic lawmakers and people and organizations across maine, listening to ideas, concerns, trying to develop a balanced approach to this difficult issue. when i heard from folks all across the state is that they recognize the problem of gun violence. they see it in acts of domestic violence, suicide, and mass shootings. each person had ideas about what we could do to address the

problem. each of those ideas was different. what was not different, what was largely agreed-upon was an overarching belief that violence prevention is important, that we have to strengthen the mental health system, and that dangerous people should not have access to firearms. out of those discussions, tonight i am announcing that i will be filing legislation to address these three major areas of concern. legislation that will implement public safety protections, that would honor the rights afforded by our state and federal constitution to safe and legal gun ownership, and will uphold our long-standing heritage. first, let's talk about prevention. many states have programs that approach the issue of violence through the broader lengths of

public health in order to understand and address long- term trends. maine is not one of those states and i would like to do something to change that . right now, data about violent injuries and deaths is kept separately and police reports, medical examiner files, vital records, emergency department records. those things are not easy to understand and analyze. tonight i propose we establish an injury and violence prevention program at the maine cdc as a central hub to bring together all of this information, already covered by diverse sectors, bring together the data that will allow us to identify patterns to inform public health and prevention measures to reduce suicides and homicides in maine . now let's do a better job of preventing violence to begin with and make

maine a safer state . let's talk about mental health. as i mentioned earlier, maine with almost unanimous bipartisan support enacted an extreme risk protection law that allows the court to order the removal of dangerous weapons from an individual determined to be a risk to themselves or others. law enforcement first must take a person into protective custody at which point they undergo a mental health evaluation. a judge interest -- issues a decision on whether to temporarily remove their weapons. this law has come under some scrutiny the listing shooting which is appropriate. is always right to western whether our laws are adequately serving their intended purpose and weather more if anything can be done to strengthen or change the law. for example, some have

questioned the necessity of a mental health assessment, suggesting it is an unnecessary hurdle and only makes the removal of weapons more difficult. this mental health assessment strengthens our law protects due process and makes it less subject to be struck down if anybody were to challenge it. it also serves as a doorway to mental health services that might not otherwise be available to that person. so this law has been used 94 times in the past 97 days since october 25. about once a day since the shooting in lewiston. and courts all over the state, every county, about 15 times more often than it was used.

the law is being used and is working. it's not to say we can't strengthen the law. even with the progress we have made in recent years to expand these services access can still be a serious struggle. i want to expand behavioral health services particularly for those in crisis. so i propose we establish a network of crisis receiving centers across maine so anyone suffering mental health crisis can get prompt and appropriate care instead of being alone relinquishing in an emergency department or jail as is too often the case. i want to establish the next receiving center in lewiston. [applause]

we will fund that in the supplemental budget. we will expand these centers we know that those centers work. my administration with your support opened the first center in portland in february, 2022. 20 months after that nearly 3000 people visited the center. since then we have announced plans to create a hybrid crisis receiving center in kennebunk county offering substance abuse treatment as well. crisis receiving centers work. let's build on them. now let's talk about how we can keep weapons out of the hands of people we should have. we know in the case of the

lewiston shooter, law enforcement officers were not able to use the extreme risk protection. whether law enforcement could have or should have done something different is a question that is being scrutinized. the fact that they were not able to do that reveals a gap that must be addressed. what happens when a law enforcement officer knows that a person is in trouble but is unable to take them into protective custody and still believes they pose a likelihood to serious sales or others. my proposal will close that gap by allowing law enforcement to seek the approval of the judge and take a person into protective custody and remove their weapons pending a full

court hearing. this will remove the barrier another tool to find the person with the court order to ensure they are taken into protective custody and weapons are removed. this will strengthen the ability of law enforcement to remove weapons from dangerous people. what about preventing dangerous people from getting a weapon in the first place. i think we can address this as well. when a person is subject to the extreme risk protection law, their name is entered into a national database of persons prohibited from having firearms. including people with the domestic violence order. people we can agree should not have it dangerous weapon. this works well. if the individual attempts to

purchase a gun the local gun shop or cabela's or l.l. bean, they are required to verify that a person is legally through this system. if that person is in the system and they are prohibited and they are flagged the sale is tonight. it is not a process that works well when that person can go to craigslist or uncle henry's and purchase through commercial sale the same weapon they were just denied. a weapon they are not legally allowed to have. in 2016 the broad question of universal background checks is put to maine people through referendum whether they want to close this private loophole. at the time people rejected it.

that vote has framed my approach to the larger question. now in the aftermath of the violence that we have seen i have asked whether this is the correct one. i do not know how we can allow people who legally cannot have guns to purchase them through a private sale. i do not know how we can allow an underground market of private commercial sellers without any restrictions. [applause] in my conversations i believe

they agree. people who cannot legally owned guns should not have such access to them. i propose two things. one, that we require any sale of a firearm that is advertised through facebook, craigslist, require them to be checked against the system. the same system used. the same will ensure that when a gun is sold through advertised sale it cannot be it cannot be sold to someone that is prohibited from having a firearm. you are probably wondering, what about sales that are purely private and not advertised? it is a good question. that is one i have thought a lot about, too. these are the kinds of transfers that are most often

from one family member to another, from one trusted friend to another. from a neighbor to another. in other words, the type of sale or safe transfer among law- abiding gun owners that is common in our state. we have to acknowledge that some good sale -- sell a weapon without knowing whether the buyer is legally allowed to own a weapon. i want to encourage people to make sure that if they are selling to someone they don't know, they should know that person is legally allowed to own a gun. that is no can do in a way that respects her long-standing tradition, passing down family firearms from one generation to the next, or from one law- abiding gun over -- owner, to another. please forgive me in advance. the former attorney general is going to come out. i know

you're surprised perk right now, it is a crime in maine for someone to intentionally or knowingly sell a firearm to someone who is a prohibited person. intentionally or knowingly. a lot is riding on whether or not you actually know. i don't think that is quite the right approach. it is to loose a standard. the bottom line is you should know. and most gun owners would want to know. it is common sense. it is the right thing to do. let's change the law to reflect that. tonight, i'm proposing that we expand our fall, and improve it to at the term recklessly, making it easier to successfully prosecute someone who does sell a gun to someone who is prohibited. i propose we toughen the law to make that type of sale a

felony, not just a misdemeanor. what does this mean in practicality? well, it means, if you're transferring a firearm to a relative or friend you know is allowed to own one, you have nothing to worry about. nothing changes. the long-standing tradition in maine remains the same. it means, if you're selling to a stranger, you should visit a licensed firearm dealer to check the nics system. i'm sorry. i just didn't know isn't going to flight like it used two. you wouldn't want a felony charge and possible prison time that comes with that. or would you want to be the one who made a sale to someone who goes out and does something terrible. that's quite a bit of stuff. let me recap. let's strengthen violence protection by establishing an injury and violence protection program with the cdc.

let's enhance our crisis system. let's keep weapons out of the hands of dangerous people by strengthening our extreme risk protection law, and by requiring advertised guns for sale to check the nics system and by toughening our law, it makes it illegal to transfer a firearm to a prohibited person. prevention, mental health, keeping weapons away from dangerous persons. that is what my proposal boils down to. i recognize that on the one hand, this legislation may be too little to those who believe that more is needed. on the other hand, it might be too much for those who believe the opposite. but violence is not a simple problem. the remedy is not a simple, single measure. these proposals, i believe, represent progress, and they do not

trample on anybody's rights. they are practical, commonsense measures. they are not extreme or unusual. they are not a cookie-cutter version of some other states laws. they are maine made, and true to our culture and our long-standing traditions while meeting today's needs. if you are a law-abiding citizen who owns firearms in maine, you have nothing to fear perk if you're a collector of firearms, you have nothing to fear. if you like to hunt in maine, you have nothing to fear. and if you're a 14-year-old boy going with your dad on a weekend, you too should have nothing to fear.

if you are a truck driver, a postal carrier, or an asl interpreter with a wife and four kids at home, or a delivery driver taking an evening off to play corn hole with friends, you should have nothing to fear. if you're a 35-year-old father of two with another on the way who just got his bachelor's degree from usm come out for a bite to eat with friends, you should have nothing to fear. over the last few months, i've been to too many funerals expressing your condolences for all of you to the loved ones of too many lost too soon, and i have sat with myself and my own conscience, reflecting upon what is right for maine in the wake of lewiston, and of the

tragedies of suicide and domestic violence that are all too prevalent in our society. i hope that you too, as elected officials of the people, will do the same, reflecting not only on what you may think is right or best, but on what those who disagree with you believe is best, as well. the issue of guns in america is so often marked with acrimony and divisiveness. tending to polarize people of goodwill. further entrenching people in already deeply held beliefs, positions, hardening our uncharitable opinions of one another and widening a great divide that only serves to immobilize us and obscure reasonable solutions. let us not lose our way. the vitriol and rhetoric that

too often accompanies these debates, let us have substantive, respectable, vigorous discussions, and arrive at solutions that work in our state, for our people. it is worth doing. it is worth doing for the victims of yesterday's orders. for the survivors of today. and the vulnerable of tomorrow. it is worth doing for ron moran , for peyton brewer ross, for josh seal. brian mcfarland. joe worker. arthur stroud, thomas ryan conrad, jason walker, lucy violet, billy bracket.

and for cindy it eaten -- for the people who took their own lives and those killed by an abuser, for the family and friends who now have to live with the unimaginable pain that comes from losing a loved one to violence, and for anyone who survived that violence, but who can never fully heal. we have a lot to work to do in this body, creating and debating proposals that are balanced and measured, with care, with dignity, but it is worthwhile because one of the fundamental obligations we have is to keep people safe. as i close, i cannot escape the

troubling fact that violence has become all too common in our culture. acts of brutality and anger are glorified and normalized in video games, tv shows, films, and social media. apps that reduce our humanity and leave us angry and bitter towards one another. acts that are part of a culture that too often promotes violence as a way to address, but never really resolve differences. as a society, we've got to consider how we can reject the vitriol that too often consumes us. how we can tune out the rhetoric of rage. how we can recognize the humanity and dignity of others through our own eyes, and how we can lead with grace, compassion, and understanding in our own private and public lives. we can't legislate off of this.

instead, i think the true solution lies in our hearts. in the lessons we impart to our children, and our daily interactions with each other, in our spiritual faith, as a people who despite many differences, truly have more in common than we know, we who walk the same birth, breathe the same air, striving for purpose, happiness, the chance to be loved, to be safe, to perhaps make a small positive difference in our short, blessed time on this earth. my friends, we cannot, this month, this spring, alone, heal every damaged heart or broken life. or pretend that we are immune from acts that tear us apart.

nor can we repair every broken brick of every damaged bridge, relieve our wooden wharfs, or reimagine the contours of our coast in a single moment. we will never forget lewiston. neither will we let october 25th define us. we have to reach each other and believe each other every day. we are still a civil, safe, and welcoming safe, with a strong backbone. we are who we always have been. a people with a deep and abiding sense of right and wrong, determined to look out for each other, knowing how lucky we are to live in this beautiful state. so we will repair this scar of violence on our communities soul, just as we rebuild our wharfs, beaches, and bridges,

with a cohesive will and a consciousness of the future. as we fortify our state against climate change, so will we restore and strengthen our sense of personal security and collective safety based on the principles of the golden rule. protecting others as we would protect ourselves in our state and in our nation. and fundamentally, we will continue to look within ourselves and to each other for the confidence, courage, and compassion to face the future. to defeat the dangers of today and prevent the disasters of tomorrow as we replenish our souls and renew our indomitable sense of hope. when people made up of many

with one purpose, one broad vision, to be the best we can, for ourselves, for our families, for each other. before our state. i know that we can because we are, all of us, the people of the great state of maine. the state of our people is good. the state of our state is strong. as always, it is a privilege and honor to serve as your governor. thank you. >> earlier today, education secretary, miguel cardona testified before lawmakers on his policies, taking guidance
