Question 1 passes with 3-1 margin
Overwhelming support of $112.9 million transportation bond
shows public recognizes need for transportation investment
Thanks in large part to the hard work of the many MBTA members who raised funds to get on television and helped get the word out to co-workers, family and friends, the transportation bond passed with strong voter support  – 74.21 percent voting YES and only 25.79 percent voting NO.
 
Below is a quick snapshot of how the bond did in particular areas of the state, as of early this afternoon, with most of the polls reporting:
  • Support was particularly strong in Aroostook County (75.58 percent voting YES) followed by Knox (74.91 percent) and York (74.21 percent).
  • Voters were broadly in favor of the bond question throughout the state. The lowest YES turnout was in Somerset County where YES votes still ran at nearly 2-1 (63.81 percent voting YES), followed by Piscataquis (65.29 percent) and Washington (65.66 percent).
