Bill Green on the WCME Midcoast Morning Buzz

On today’s WCME Midcoast Morning Buzz, Bill Green, the popular longtime outdoors reporter for News Center Maine, who retired in 2019, and in the following year recorded a widely noted televised endorsement of Senator Susan Collins, doesn’t rule out a similar move on behalf of Collins next year, when she plans to seek a sixth term in the U-S Senate.

The 2020 endorsement from Green came at the start of the last campaign when polls showed a close race between Collins and Democratic challenger Sara Gideon of Freeport.

In the end, Collins won the race by a significant margin of 9 percent, and several veteran political observers credit a combination of the Green endorsement and a sustained attack on Gideon by Collins, who charged that Gideon, in her role as Speaker of the House, was too slow in responding to allegations of sexual misconduct by a member of the House.
