Public Safety At A Breaking Point — “85% Of All Crime Actually Goes Back To Drug Trafficking.” — Bobby Charles
Part One takes a hard look at Maine’s public safety crisis — from drug trafficking and repeat offenders to cashless bail, the court backlog, and the imbalance between prosecutors and public defenders. Bobby Charles outlines how drug trafficking drives the majority of crime in the state, and discusses the pressures facing law enforcement, gaps in deterrence, and the need to restore accountability. He also examines failures inside DHHS, rising MaineCare strain, and the broader affordability issues placing Mainers at risk.
