🎙️ “They Knew That It Was a Problem.” — AND — “They Didn’t Tell Anybody.” — Frey on PFAS manufacturers concealing known dangers and profiting from decades of silence.

Part Two continues the in-studio conversation with Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey, as he explains how PFAS manufacturers knowingly hid the dangers of their “forever chemicals” for decades—contaminating Maine’s soil, water, and farmland. Frey discusses the state’s lawsuits against 3M, DuPont, and subsidiaries, comparing the cover-up to the tobacco industry deception of the 1990s, and stresses that corporations—not taxpayers—must fund the cleanup and remediation costs.

The discussion also expands to consumer protection issues, including Maine’s new deed-fraud commission, proposed contractor-licensing reforms, and the growing threat of technology-based scams and cryptocurrency fraud. Frey provides updates on illegal marijuana grow houses, highlighting coordination among state and federal law enforcement and emphasizing the need for due process and community safety.

Maine State Representative Steve Bishop joins Corenna and David Quirk in studio for his third appearance to talk about what really works in Augusta — listening, teamwork, and leaving party labels at the door.

From his work on the Transportation Committee to the realities facing Maine’s small businesses, housing, and local economies, Bishop shares what he’s learned about focusing on solutions over soundbites. He explains how bipartisan cooperation has helped move bills forward, reflects on the responsibility of public service, and speaks candidly about the tough decision to list his third-generation family business for sale after 64 years.

At its core, this conversation is about practical leadership, collaboration, and keeping Maine’s priorities above politics.
