Mountain Explorer Shuttle trips to now include Mount Abram Ski Resort
BETHEL — A free transportation system offered for the past nine years between Bethel village and Sunday River Ski Resort in Newry will now include Mount Abram Family Ski Resort in Greenwood.
"We are in the process of raising the funds to be able to provide the service we have for the past nine years between Bethel village and Sunday River Resort for 118 days this season, as well as between Bethel and Mount Abram for 15 Saturdays," Robin Zinchuk, executive director of the Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce, said by e-mail Wednesday.
The Mountain Explorer Shuttle is one of 16 fixed-route transit systems that provide regularly scheduled bus service in Maine.
It is a collaborative effort of the local business community, the Maine Department of Transportation and the Bethel chamber.
Until Mount Abram co-owner Matt Hancock asked the chamber to include the Greenwood resort in its trip itinerary, Mountain Explorer only operated days and evenings between Bethel and Sunday River.
It stops at major lodging establishments, retailers and restaurants along the Newry resort access road and around town.

Really?
Ok, unless I'm missing something, this whole problem relates to First Wind joining forces with Algonquin because they needed some cash, but that would violate the Maine power deregulation law.
Did I miss the mark?

It didn't
People starved in the streets, died from all sorts of easily treated diseases, and died from old age and neglect.
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.
