Excerpt from the article:
Governor John Baldacci met face to face for the first time with Green candidate Pat LaMarche and Independent candidate Barbara Merrill. The 3 were at a symposium at the University of Maine in Orono organized by the Maine COMPACT for Higher Education.
Each candidate had a couple of minutes to say what they wanted about their run for governor and answered questions about education.
A report from COMPACT shows that Maine has the lowest percentage of adults with college degrees out of all the New England states. The goal of the symposium was to discuss a comprehensive educational plan to get more Mainers to go to college.
