PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Motorists on an interstate that cuts through the heart of Maine won't see signs this summer directing them to a national monument created by President Barack Obama because the governor won't let state workers install them. The Maine Department of Transportation is delaying installation of signs alongside Interstate 95 for Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument pending the outcome of a review ordered by President Donald Trump last month of the 27 monuments created by his predecessors. LePage, who supports Trump, has long opposed the creation of the monument in northern Maine, contending federal ownership would stymie economic development. The wooded wilderness includes a 17-mile loop road with stunning views of Mount Katahdin, Maine's tallest mountain, along with trails for hiking, mountain biking and snowmobiling, and paddling on the Penobscot River's East Branch.
