the governor is trying to void my vote

come to Maine where your vote can be over turned by greed.
" Robert Walker submitted the following public comments on behalf of Citizens Who Support Maine's Public Schools to the secretary of state's voter's guide in support of Question 2:[24]
“

We urge support for Question 2 because all students, regardless of zip code, deserve support, resources, and time to learn. That’s why a coalition of parents, teachers, and organizations are determined to put students, teaching, and learning first, by voting Yes on 2, for tax fairness and fair funding of Maine’s public schools.

What does a YES vote mean?

If approved by voters, the initiative, known as Stand Up for Students, will generate an estimated $157 million more dollars for schools statewide.

How will the money be raised?

By adding a 3% surcharge to taxable income above $200,000, Maine schools stand to gain an additional $157 million for direct funding of classroom education.

Why is this “tax fairness”?

Right now in Maine, someone earning $40,000 per year has to pay the same top tax rate as someone making $1 million per year.

Maine’s wealthiest residents had their income taxes cut twice in recent years.
WELL gov. we could afford this if you hadn't given such massive tax cuts to the wealthy. To me and many of our fellow Mainers this is a statement that our vote doesn't count. And we no longer live in a democracy ; where one man one vote is the law and majority rules.

Jim McCarthy Once again... you have no idea. Answer these 2 simple questions:
1. Will all schools benefit?
2. Can the money be used for supplies for the children, or for capital expenditures?

Joe Mac once again you act like your an authority when in fact your a lap dog ; the people voted and your leader defies the vote. He has already cost the tax payers millions - your party is mad because they can't touch it.
