Journal Tribune endorses yes vote on Question 2 dental bond

An editorial in the Oct. 16, 2010 (Biddeford) strongly endorsed a yes vote on the Question 2 dental health bond on the Nov. 2nd ballot. The bond "addresses a serious public health problem in Maine – the lack of adequate access to dental care. The question seeks $5 million to establish a dental college and a network of community dental clinics – assets that will benefit Maine for years to come." The editorial also noted that SWAGÊÓƵ, which is raising funds to establish a dental college, will be in a strong position to compete for funds to build a dental clinic as part of the college.
