Terry Karkos/Sun Journal
Catherine Johnson of Mexico warms her hands against a working geothermal water furnace on Saturday morning in the Community Energy booth at the River Valley Expo in the Mountain Valley High School gymnasium. As one of 75 participating vendors and organizations, Community Energy won the event's Best of Show award for its display with a working furnace, a personal and friendly attitude, leading an energy conservation class every hour in the auditorium, and getting six employees out to help with the booth, said River Valley Chamber of Commerce Administrator Cherri Crockett.

As for Government intervention. As long as there has been "government" there has been intervention so you have to go back 3,000,000 and more years to reach "before Government intervention". The choice now is not between no intervention and lots of intervention. Its between the tyranny of religious dogma on the right and the freedom of personal growth and responsibility on the left.

Fantasy vs. reality
Every year Maine has a balanced budget. The state is not deeply in the red. The credit rating companies (as corrupt as they are) agree Maine has its debt well under control. The Governor Constitutionally can not "supervise" the State Legislature. The most he has been able to do so far is bully senior citizens, the infirmed, and children.
