    MaineCare extension a win-win for Mainers

    Rarely do we have such a win-win situation! If Gov. Paul LePage and Maine Republicans support the Democrat's plan to extend MaineCare, the federal government will provide 100 percent of the funding to insure those in Maine who cannot afford health insurance, many of whom are wage earners. Nearly 70 percent of Mainers agree that we should accept the dollars.

    LePage needs education about education

    As a retired teacher of 27 years, I feel I must address what is happening in our state government. We have a governor who is a bully, and he is leading the lemmings in the Legislature straight off a cliff as fast as he can, pulling the rest of the state over with him. Like any other bully, Gov. Paul LePage must have a supportive audience in order to succeed. The Republican members in the Legislature have again reversed their votes in order to support the governor's veto of bills that could have brought benefits to our state. Shame on you, legislators!

    Medicaid bill veto misses the point

    By vetoing the bill to accept 100 percent funded federal Medicaid dollars because it was attached to cash settlement with hospitals, it seems like the governor has thrown out the proverbial baby with the bath water.
