Tow Truck

I hope anyone who uses this towing company finds someone else.
There should be a law against gauging.
And the storage fee is a rip off. If they don't claim their vehicle within 24 hours a reasonable fee would be expected but !!! and the "gate' fee. What a low life bunch of people!!!

Union Nurses

Stand by Lewiston... you will see the union coming to your door. You start taking away and treating them like 2nd class people and you get what you ask for.

Sex Ed.

Teaching that the body is special and keeping it for marriage is the right way to teach. The idea of being safe does not take back that which was given. I guess if your child is prone to want to rob a bank you tell them to be sure and wear a mask and have a good escape plan. That way you might not be cuaght. Don't rob the bank!!

Mitchell

What a joke! She has been in Augusta forever with a majority of her party and now she has a plan. "An economic council”, that is finding a bunch that agree with you and giving them some more of our hard earned taxpaying dollars. Borrow, borrow, and borrow... a state that is in deep debt, boy that is just what we need. You want to "save" small business, back off on all the regulations. Do some work on the workers comp that is killing the blue collar business; we do still have some, right? As a kid growing up in Auburn and Lewiston I recall riding the bus and all those shoe workers getting on. French to French and French and broken English and English and English. They just shared their lives with each other. They spent their hard earned dollars at mostly small corner markets where you asked the butcher to cut your steaks and chops just like you like it. We need to do drastic work to reduce the size of our government and Libby Mitchell sure won't be heading up that committee.

Hunting Bear

I believe it is for the same reason all mammals are hunted. It is to control their population. Too many deer or anything die a cruel death of starvation. Too many bears and we don't have some of the other animals we enjoy. The food is a side benefit. I don’t agree with the baiting and trapping. Waiting for the kill can be a cruel process in of itself.

Turbines

How about an insulated housing around the gear box (I expect that is where the noice is coming from)? That should cut the noise down by almost 68% unless it is the actual blades.

Sting

Great coverage! It is amazing how people do not relate this behavior with the goal of wanting to make this life style come under the umbrella of "marriage". Special privileges given to people who find this life style OK.

Your Problem

Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Mat 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

Looks to me that you need the Lord in your life!

Just a thought not a judgment!

Elections

Lets limit how much can be spent. That way it will not be a money issue and keep good people out due to trying to go up against big dollars. All they can spend is what the annual pay would be for that position. Sorry for the TV and radio folks... but thats the breaks. Can you image them going door to door. Plain paper instead of the expensive mulit color both sides mailings.

Ruling

I agree with the court. Why should my tax dollars help a person who values are not mine be elected. The will get enough graff onece in office to make up for what they invest in their election.
