who the right really represents


I continually here or see in the media where people like rep. Rich Cebra or state sen. raye or Thomas you know the usual crowd wanting to cut the budget-stop welfare fraud etc. Yet in each of their districts the housing portion of this system reimburses
slum lord housing!(the norway paper almost got a Pulitzer award for covering this)
here's what really is going on!
Earlier this month, we learned that Maine is lagging behind the rest of the country in personal-income growth, at a rate of only 3.4 percent. Meaning, Maine workers saw an increase of only $23 in their weekly paycheck—the smallest of any state.

"We know that as our state climbs out of the worst recession our nation has ever seen, we need to do everything we can to be sure that Mainers get a fair shot at getting ahead. We need to create opportunities to put more money in to the pockets of working and middle class Mainers.

Instead, for the last year and half, the Governor and his allies have taken every opportunity to undercut Maine workers and the families who are living pay check to pay check to make ends meet.

While there might be party-difference over the role of government, I think most would agree that at the very least, government should exist so that the ladder of success is kept in place so that people have a fair shot at getting ahead."
by the way Rich you done a grave injustice to the people of naples allowing a fixed bridge to replace the biggest draw you had to that area!
no large boats can clear a 12foot opening-that includes half the boats moored at local marinas! sail boats etc. no one elected should be more knowledge about the money that causeway pulls in during summer months-evidently you don't fit well in Augusta! And you can't blame the other guy cuz ur it for that area!!!!
