BIDDEFORD — When State Rep. Ryan Fecteau was going door-to-door around Biddeford, drumming up support for his reelection to the Maine House of Representatives in 2018, he was struck by the number of people complaining they couldn’t find an electrician or plumber to hire.
From those comments, the Democratic representative said he realized “there a massive need for skilled labor in Biddeford.” And, he said, “if there’s a need there, there’s a need elsewhere,” which is why Fecteau is now sponsoring his second piece of legislation to provide funds for the state’s 27 career and technology schools around the state.
