I had the opportunity to meet with Libby Mitchell. What impressed me about her — she listened to me. She asked questions to help her better understand my concerns.
She has the respect of her counterparts, because they have elected her to leadership positions. She stays in the background and doesn’t take credit for the successes that come from her efforts.
The economy is in a shambles thanks to the trickle-down policies created by the Republicans. We need to elect a governor with a strong background in the Legislature in order to address the financial problems that confront us.
I expect our elected officials to work together to solve the problems in the best interest of all the people. Mitchell is an energetic problem-solver with integrity. That is exactly what we need.
Libby Mitchell is ready on day one. No on-the-job training is needed.

Of course she doesn't need on the job training....she's horrible already.

lawntobemowed, Mardens is a salvage store, and they do not hide that fact. Personally, I have gotten some great things there, at great prices. The people who work there are always happy and helpful, that fact should also reflect on LePage. Happy and helpful employees.
When was the last time you encountered a happy and helpful state employee?

Libby is status quo. Ask yourself, is Maine in a good place? Libby is the same ole, same ole. Let us put her and her ilk out to pasture. Maine needs to move forward!

So, you're saying that we need more of the same incompetence we've seen for some thirty years? I've been around and I can say Maine's never been much for logic.

No on-the-job training needed is absolutely right. She's been in the system for 36 years and somehow claims no culpability whatsoever for the sorry mess the State is in, even though she's been an active participant in the process. Talk about a disconnect.

When was the last time you found something really nice at Marden's? Most of the stuff I've purchased there doesn't last very long and it usually has some sort of flaw. It fair to believe that LePage is not much different that the merchandise he peddles.

The indoor / outdoor carpet on my screened in porch came from Marden's. I had estimates from other stores which were 3X what Marden's charged me. It's been 6 years and it looks pretty much exactly like it did the day it was installed. The color was exactly what I wanted and it was installed 2 days after I ordered it. The installers showed up on time, were very professional and accommodating. I couldn't be more pleased with the choice I made.
If you're looking for a silk purse and want to pay for a sow's ear, that's the place to go.

so don't shop there and you have solved that problem. I look over the stuff carefully and have gotten some great bargains there. Look at it this way; if he knows how to run a business while keeping costs down and is parsamonious with his own money, wouldn't it stand to reason there would be a good chance he would do the same with our tax money? And wouldn't THAT be a refreshing change in Augusta?

No OJT required. Ole "Tax and Spend Libby " is ready to continue the failed policies she has championed for years on Day One !
Looks like the writer has learned how to blame from Obama. It's been so long since Republicans have had a majority in the Maine House or Senate it rings very hollow to try to blame the Maine economy on them.
Maine's economy needs a governor that will do a 180. It's not Mitchell. Thankfully, the polls are showing that Mainers won't get fooled again this November.
Go Libby! And take Baldacci with you !
