Gov. Paul LePage’s top administration at the Department of Health and Human Services chose to hide a critical mistake within the DHHS budget. The mistake involved 19,000 Mainers. They chose to withhold this information while the governor proposed massive cuts to Mainers receiving MaineCare.
Fortunately, the Democratic state representative on the Appropriations Committee, Rep. Peggy Rotundo, and the Democratic state senator on the Health and Human Services Committee, Sen. Margart Craven, worked hard to mitigate these cuts.
Gov. LePage’s appointed DHHS Commissioner, Mary Mayhew, knew about the mistake in January. How could she not inform the governor and other legislators of that?
I hope that further cuts are held up until the full scope of the problem is uncovered.
When the governor threatened to close schools if his supplemental budget was not passed in time, he was right here in Lewiston. Unfortunately, I think that just earned a failing grade in accountability and transparency.
Rep. Rotundo and Sen. Craven questioned the numbers from the DHHS. They are demanding honesty and transparency. I am very grateful to have their representation in Augusta. I trust Rotundo and Craven to fight for us.
I would like to see more representatives such as Rotundo and Craven. Voters need to restore a Democratic majority in the State House and Senate.
Essential services should not be cut while the facts are being hidden by Gov. LePage’s top administration, and not while he proudly gives tax breaks disproportionately benefiting the wealthy.

The common folk
The common folk in this country need to learn to see a scam when those folks who consider themselves to be more worthy of the good life hurl it at them. They promise to stop abortions but give us a lot of moralistic meddling and eliminate all the things that keep the abortion rates low like available birth control and pre-natal care, and support for the disabled. They promise to cut taxes and get the government off our backs and we get pennies in cuts, massive service cuts while the multi-national corporations, banks;, insurance and energy companies get huge subsidies, free access to public lands and the unfettered right to gouge citizens and workers alike by forming monopolies and conglomerations. In the end we get more and more wars, higher deficits, financial bubbles, fewer and fewer services and deplorable working conditions or unemployment. Having been fooled by these guys many times already I hope the common folk are ready to read the writing on the wall.

Nobody likes to pay taxes and the subject is especially noxious this time of the year. However, if people want a decent standard of living they have to invest in their community. To expect poor people to invest a greater percentage of their resources than rich people is ridiculous. The rich got rich as a result of community investments to begin with. It's only fair that they should invest more in education and infrastructure to guarantee future prosperity. Those folks who want no taxes ever are looking to turn the country into a hillbilly heaven where only a few people prosper while the rest suffer in ignorance and squallor. A few more years of them and we will be looking to Mississipi as "the way life should be". And as for the people who get money back it is usually because they paid too much in to begin with. There is no excuse for companies making huge profits to pay nada or even worse to pay nada and get subsidies besides thanks to loopholes. What they don't pay for you and I have to make up for while they lobby for government contracts and special exemptions.

Claire,
At the end of the day, the only thing we all have here are opinions. I actually do hear what other people are saying; most of it is excuses why they cannot do something.
For example, if you could have saved about $250.00 a month for the better part of your adult life and invested that in an IRA, you probably would have close to $500,000.000 when you entered retirement.
That is only $62.50 per week.
Now let’s hear the excuses why you could not do that.
The sad thing about it is that people sacrificed and saved, get screwed in the end. How? The obsession with printing money devalues a whole life’s worth of savings.
Now where is the equality?

Actually I did invest in my retirement. For 40 years I paid into a retirement system and it cost me a lot more than $62 a week because I believed in the promise that my fellow Mainers made to me that I would have a certain retirement in my old age as a member of the Maine State Retirement System. Unfortunately, the current representative does not believe in keeping promises. I have a lot of sympathy for the folks in Millinocket who were lied to by a politician who knows nothing about honor and integrity. Neither of us are responsible for the situation we find ourselves in. It was not our decisions but others' thievery that left us where we are. As for your faithful devotion to putting aside money, well the financial debacle of 2008 in which $73 trillion of those retirement funds were stolen through the sale of bogus securities should make even you see that it is not always your personal decisions that determine where you end up. It isn't a safety net if it isn't safe.

Claire,
Let me respond in reverse order. Nothing in live is guaranteed that is why one must diversify as much as possible. For example, an old employer of mine had a pension plan. Knowing that nothing in life is guaranteed, I made additional investments in a ROTH IRA. Guess what, my pension plan disappeared, but I still have my ROTH.
I remained in the market throughout 2008 and accelerated my investments in the down market. The market has sprung back and I’m all the better for it. Could I end up losing – yes, but I took some of those gains and again diversified - I financed two rental properties that generate passive income.
Life never stops taking punches, so never stop ducking. Now I agree with you that there are undesirable behaviors in the market, and in government for that fact, but I believe that I’m still ahead.
I view both Wall Street and my government as mobsters that I must pay off to get ahead ever so slightly. It is simply in my DNA to keep plugging ahead.

My first thought is how can I turn this into more money, like buy two rental properties and invest the remainder in Vanguard GNMA bond fund; note that $500,000.00 is not very much these days, especially when our health sours with age.
This is the fundamental difference in thinking that sets people apart when it comes to finances.

Just remember that the DHHS problems largely trace back to a $25 million computer system put into operation when Baldacci was governor and rubber stamped by Rotundo and Craven. On another point, Lepage's tax breaks also go to some 70,000 Mainers that are far from "wealthy", not just those in the highest tax bracket, who by the way, still pay far more to the State in taxes as a group than anyone else.

It doesn't matter who it traces back to. What does matter is that there is an issue that needs to be fixed. That "ISSUE" was not brought to the attention of our legislature and they were asked to act without complete factual information. There is none of the "transparency" that this administration claims to be aiming for. There is also no final amount that this has cost the state or will cost when we have to repay the federal government. Until such time as there is complete information then ALL tax breaks should be suspended. We cannot cut revenues to the state while we have such a budget quandary. It is also about time this administration starts looking for other places to cut because there is no way in HELL that DHHS can foot the entire budget....maybe they should start with the warden service...multiple new vehicles in a time when we are in such dire straits....salaries to people who can't be up front with congress or the people of Maine for that matter....and maybe they ought to come clean about a lot more things that we will eventually hear about.

First tax return when I had kids, I thought something was wrong and refused to turn it in. I think I had paid in all of about $500 in federal taxes and here, H&R Block was telling me I was due over 2K. I thought for sure I would get in trouble for taking $1,500 more than I put in. Want to end deficits? Bring in a flat tax that the poor and rich pay alike and stop giving people more than they put in.
As for class distinction, it was given only as an economic indicator. I did contract work in my younger days for assembly line workers who gladly gave me a check and offered me a beer. I also did work for doctors who would hem and haw and talk about anything but the bill when the job was done.

That is not unusual for they know the value of money and keeping it in their own pocket, nothing wrong with that behavior. A good lesson that I learned over time is that all prices are negotiable.
I even have a 50% success rate negotiating prices with Walmart. Consider a package of underwear that has been opened and taped up – who wants to pay full price when I can pick up a package that is pristine right next to it.
Find the manager and make an offer. This does not always work, but it keeps me in inexpensive underwear.

... so that makes me "wealthy", according to the Maine Revenue Service, and that definition hasn't changed substantially for 15 years. Yes, I have lots of deductions, but the bottom line: I pay a boatload of ME income tax. And employer taxes (for the privilege of providing jobs to other Mainers), and property taxes, and federal income tax, including self-employment tax. Apparently a self-employed couple doesn't qualify as a "working family", because our SE tax rate wasn't reduced, although it's the same tax that supposedly pays for current Social Security benefits.
