The voters of Maine, a state I have lived in for 75 years and love as a place to live, has voted in a governor that is truly a Republican.

To restore Maine’s finances, he has chosen, as they all do, to put the burden on the poor, the sick, the old and disabled. He also wants to increase the amount of pollution created in our state.

He hates the working people of Maine and does not ask the rich to pay their fair share.

I have not heard one word about the waste in state government, including the state highway department, which I believe is one of the worst offenders.
