Even LePage has ‘some good inside’ somewhere
Gov. Paul LePage is such a sweetie. While he is destroying historic murals, and erasing labor history, he is also helping out at Meals on Wheels in his spare time. See there is some good inside there somewhere. Del Cain Gardiner native retired in Orlando, Fla.

Governor makes decrees like a dictator
I can’t help but think that Moammar Gadhafi also would have removed a labor mural from one of his buildings. I’m not implying our governor is a dictator, but he seems to be conducting himself as one. He makes a decrees and it will be done, no further discussion. What’s next? Attacking the citizens? Oh […]

Maine retirement system ‘too generous’

LePage has damaged image of businesses
As a small-business owner who functions as both an employer and employee, I am gravely concerned by the ongoing disparagement of and hostility toward those who are considered labor.

Secret societies cannot win as long as we know God
We live in an age where the Sheriff of Nottingham has a computer, and Robin Hood and his Merry Men have been sent to therapy for an “attitude adjustment.” It does not take a rocket scientist to see that the United States has drifted enormously away from her constitutional moorings toward shipwreck on the rocks […]

Unfunded liability is state’s debt, not employees’
In the letter from Greg Paquet on March 29, he criticized the Maine State Employees Association for criticizing Paul LePage’s proposal to deal with the unfunded liability without offering a solution. Paquet seems to misunderstand the unfunded liability, which exists solely because the state failed to fund its portion of the costs of the state […]

How are Legislature, LePage cutting back?
With all of the talk about cutting this and cutting that, I’d like to know what the Legislature and Paul LePage are doing in their respective areas to cut back.
