Augusta Occupiers should follow law, get a permit
We have no problem with the Occupy Augusta movement, but the Occupiers need to follow the law and get a permit. We need a permit if we want to exercise our constitutional right to bear arms. Or if we want to build our dream house, we need to get a building permit. Peggy and Michael […]

Claim of ‘hundreds’ at summits seems extravagant
On Nov. 26, in his weekly broadcast, Gov. Paul LePage claimed to have heard from “hundreds of business leaders” during three recent summit conferences of Maine’s employers. “They” spoke of the “high cost of doing business in Maine.” No argument with the message, but “hundreds” of messengers within such a short time frame seems a […]
