About 60 state legislators signed a petition Friday calling for the Maine Public Broadcasting Network to reinstate "The Humble Farmer," the radio personality it dropped from its lineup after more than 28 years on the air.
Robert Skogland, a humorist from St. George, was dropped by the network after he refused to sign a letter saying he would follow commentary guidelines that apply to all of MPBN's on-air staff outside of the news department, said Lou Morin, communications manager for MPBN.
