About Maine Counties

County government is Maine's oldest form of government, predating statehood and even the writing of the Declaration of Independence. County Government is the only form of regional government whose officials are directly elected by the voters. Click here to read more about County Government and its many important functions. Click here to check out the Directory of Maine Counties, listing officials and contact information for each county. Some very useful links are available here for more information about individual counties, some related national organizations, and the Maine state government.

Doctor and author Steven Kassels has been a guest speaker at one of the MCCA Board of Directors' meetings. Reading excerpts from his book, "Addiction on Trial", and explaining statistics, societal discrimination and biases toward drug addicts, Dr. Kassels shed light about this chronic illness that crosses age, gender, socio-economic, racial and religious boundaries. This book is a must read, written as a spellbinding story to educate readers about the downward path of destruction caused by the disease using characters we can all understand, relate to, and sympathize with.
