Focused on substance over soundbites, Q-Point welcomes different perspectives and gives guests room to explain their positions, experiences, and priorities. The goal is to inform listeners, ask direct questions, and encourage thoughtful discussion. Guests’ views are their own.

“We Should All Be on the Same Side”
— Sussman On The Oversight Hearing
Continuing our conversation with Amy Sussman, aunt of Maxx Hathaway, we turn to the September 16 Government Oversight Committee hearing. Sussman describes her efforts to obtain answers about the Maine Community Foundation’s Lewiston-Auburn Area Response Fund for victims and their families.
Sussman questions how donations were distributed, including the $1.9 million she says went to nonprofits, and calls for a fuller investigation. She describes a possible shift at the hearing after Lewiston city council members asked for an investigation and committee members discussed inviting the foundation to answer questions.
In a phone update recorded afterward, Sussman disputes statements about her in materials associated with the Attorney General’s investigation. She says an email cited as an attempt to contact her went to the wrong address and that she plans to seek corrections. The episode closes with news that the committee scheduled another meeting for October 21 and invited the Maine Community Foundation.
