Maine (WABI) - "Senator #SusanCollins announced Wednesday that the University of Maine’s funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been restored.

"On Monday the University received notice that funding from the USDA was paused.

"According to UMS, the notice stated the pause was temporary while the USDA evaluated potential follow-up actions related to prospective Title VI (6) or Title IX (9) violations.

"Collins released at statement saying:

'This USDA funding is critically important not only to the University of Maine, but to our farmers and loggers, as well as to the many people who work in #Maine’s #agriculture, #aquaculture, and #forestry industries. Now that funding has been restored, the work that the University does in partnership with the many people and communities who depend on these programs can continue.'"

@DoomsdaysCW They seem to be releasing funds only to Republicans who come asking (begging) as if the withholding of funds is intended to reinforce this Republican Administration’s idea that one must grovel in front of them.

@grayladywriter Hmmm... Considering how much #JanetMills confronted #Trump, I'm surprised that the funding was restored. I'd like to think the threat of legal action might have changed minds. Collins isn't the begging type.
