PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - Mainers have approved a $100 million bond for transportation projects.
Most of the money will go toward highways and bridges, while $15 million will go to other projects including rail, aviation and ports.
Given the green light by voters on Tuesday, the proposal will bring in $253 million in federal funds.
Such bonds have passed by healthy margins over the last half-dozen years.
