We finally agree with something Gov. Paul LePage said in making it clear he would not seek a federal waiver from the Department of Health and Human Services until the Legislature says it wants that: “Well, put me in jail ...” (Dec. 17, “LePage budget tied to DHHS”).
Yes, let’s follow the governor’s wishes and put him away so that responsible people in Augusta can get on with the business of the state of Maine and its people.

“Yes, let’s follow the governor’s wishes and put him away so that responsible people in Augusta can get on with the business of the state of Maine and its people.”
Do you mean the same “responsible” people who created this mess?
Pretty much everyone agrees the State spends beyond its means, but no one wants to be the recipient of budget cuts, which by the way is the solution.

there you go again, only a very select FEW people agree that the State spend beyond its means, those are the very people who want to punish people for being poor, while laughing it up in luxury.

You can not ignore the dhhs problems. they have been going on for alot longer than Baldacci. I was dealing with them thirty years ago and nothing has changed since then.
Lepage may have all the answeres in his head but he has no way of effectivly activateing those answeres. If he were to back up, sit down and work with people who know what thier doing I feel that misstakes can be rectifide fat can be cut and waste in the system can be identified. I'm sure the waste alone would balance the budget. Threatening people with thier medical needs is the most cruel thing he or anyone could do. When your sick, the last thing you need is the extra stress of medical coverage being withheld. You can say ya thats easy for you to say, well guess what it is easy for me to say. I'm totally disabled and lost my medical coverage last Jan. 1st. I'v been there.

Yes, responsible people like former Governor Baldacci and his minions that managed to grow DHHS to a totally unsustainable size while kicking the debt can down the road. Some people think that if you ignore a problem it will go away, or that if you pretend it doesn't exist, then it really doesn't.

One would think that all of the Corporations and Companies that moved their jobs from Maine to overseas or down South certainly had something to do with growing DHHS to the size that it is now.
And the conservatives never complain about them growing the 'Poor' in Maine??
