  • Fish and Game Dpt : license for senior citizen
    The fishing license should be discounted to 50% for seniors at 65 years old and over, free for senior at 70 and over. Most retirerees can barely afford the price of a license, Medicare cost is going up as well as living expenses.Our senior citizens deserve a break , we owe it to them. Also the license should be a 12 month issue from the date you buy it ( May to May etc...), as for now it is untill December no matter which month you buy the license.

  • PROPERTY TAXES
    The present property tax concept is not fair because the local tax burden is not the same for every body. Our State Constitution stipulates that a taxpayer class, such as property taxes, shall have the same tax burden. But our present property tax concept does not follow the intent of our State Constitution

  • Stop LePage Administration Abuse of Power

On March 29, she testified before a legislative committee, warning about the risks of Governor Paul LePage's efforts to weaken protections for the chemical BPA, which has been linked to developmental problems in kids, heart disease, and cancer. In retaliation, Andrea was demoted and replaced by a far less qualified individual who had been hired in January for an entry-level clerical position.

  • Congressional Reform Act of 2011
    Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC.

  • Support Eric Schneiderman's Investigation of the Corporate Banking Industry
    After weeks of intense pressure from the Obama Administration and from Schneiderman’s fellow attorneys general to support a broad settlement that would let the big banks off easy for the questionable lending practices that caused our country’s housing crisis, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was removed from a committee of state attorneys general investigating the banking industry’s mortgage abuses. Now Schneiderman is preparing to investigate Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and other major financial institutions for their misconduct in the mortgage markets.

  • Congressional Reform Act of 2011
    The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, who would represent the American citizenry without regard for personal gain nor in making their service a long term career position. Instead, those serving have created safety nets for themselves that average americans are not entitled to such as pay increases, a separate health care system for themselves, tenured pension pay, and they have established rules to protect themselves from the "everyday" laws imposed on all citizens. They should derive no greater benefit from service than that delivered to American citizens by the government.
