Maine State Credit Union announces leadership changes at Rockland branch
Maine State Credit Union has announced leadership changes at its Rockland branch. Hillary Jackson has been selected to lead the growing eBranch in Farmingdale, and Jordan Lytton will be the new branch manager in Rockland.
“We’re all about supporting our communities while finding new ways to grow and serve,” said Stephen Wallace, President and CEO. “Jordan Lytton is a great fit for Rockland—someone who truly cares about people and making a difference locally. We’re also thrilled for Hillary Jackson as she steps into her new role leading our eBranch. Her passion for innovation and helping others will make a big impact as we reach more members in more ways than ever.”
Hillary Jackson has been promoted to manage Maine State Credit Union’s expanding eBranch, which serves members throughout the state via digital channels. Jackson played a key role in establishing and developing the credit union’s presence in the Rockland market. She originally joined Maine State Credit Union as an assistant branch manager and was quickly promoted to branch manager, where she oversaw significant growth and built strong local connections. Before joining the credit union, she was the assistant branch manager at Camden National Bank’s Thomaston location. Jackson is deeply involved in the community and, outside of work, can often be found courtside cheering on her kids’ basketball teams.
“It’s been a joy serving the Rockland community, and I’m so grateful for the connections I’ve made here,” said Hillary Jackson. “In this new role, I’m excited to bring that same personal touch to the eBranch as we find new and innovative ways to support our members—no matter where they are.”
Jordan Lytton has been named the new branch manager of Maine State Credit Union’s Rockland location. A resident of Lincolnville, Lytton joins the credit union from Camden National Bank, where he most recently served as assistant branch manager at the downtown Camden branch. He brings a strong background in member service and a deep commitment to community engagement. Outside work, Lytton is active in the local community and enjoys spending time with his family, especially cheering on his son at baseball games.
“Joining the credit union feels like a perfect fit because it reflects what matters most to me, putting people and community first,” said Jordan Lytton. “I’m proud to serve the Midcoast region through the Rockland branch and excited to build meaningful relationships with our members. I’m especially looking forward to getting involved in local outreach and finding ways to support and strengthen our community.”
“Both Jordan and Hillary exemplify what Maine State Credit Union stands for – dedicated service, community connection, and a commitment to helping our members thrive,” said Stephen Wallace, President and CEO. “We’re excited for what the future holds under their leadership and proud to support their continued growth within our organization.”

Regular gas tops $4, premium over $5 in Maine amid severe Trump Iran threats
Maine’s average price for regular gasoline rose to its highest point since August 2022, as the conflict in Iran continues to drive up global oil costs.
A gallon of regular gas averaged $4.03 here Tuesday, ticking up more than 6 cents overnight, according to data aggregated by motor club AAA. That price has risen 38.5% — about $1.12 — since Feb. 28, when the United States and Israel struck Iran, triggering a conflict that has since spilled into the broader Middle East.
Maine’s average price crossed the $4 threshold a week after the national average did so. The national average was up to $4.14 Tuesday, AAA data shows.
Premium gas was up to $5.07 per gallon in Maine, topping $5 for the first time in nearly four years. Diesel, meanwhile, averaged about $5.90 per gallon Tuesday.
Collectively, those figures mark the state’s highest average gas prices since the summer of 2022, when the Russian invasion of Ukraine drove gas prices to record highs. A gallon of regular gas peaked at $5.09 that June, the highest ever recorded by AAA.
This week, Maine’s prices were the 21st highest among the 50 states and Washington, D.C., according to AAA. California, Hawaii, Washington, Nevada and Oregon all saw average prices above $5 per gallon Tuesday.
This is a developing story.

This Maine Restaurant’s Lobster Roll Is 3 Feet Long… Yes, Really!
This iconic spot is a “road-trip-worthy” Maine destination, but can you handle their newest addition?
Spring has sprung, which means plenty of people will take a well-deserved break from the daily grind and hit the open road. If you’re heading out to explore some cool Maine traditions—and you love lobster rolls—we’ve found the perfect stop.
The Taste of Maine restaurant has been serving up delicious seafood since 1978. They’re famous for a few things: a giant inflatable lobster that covers about 75% of the roof, and their claim to fame—the “World’s Largest Lobster Roll.”
These legendary lobster rolls are 22 inches long, and over the years, many customers have taken on the dare of finishing one. If you succeed, you earn membership in the “Clean Plate Club”—no easy feat given the size of this lobster roll.
But this year, Taste of Maine has gone even bigger. Introducing the “Monster” Lobster Roll: 3 feet long, packed with 2½ pounds of fresh Maine lobster meat—tail, claw, and knuckle—all on a 6-inch roll. This colossal creation carries a price tag of $259.99.
