Maine TABOR campaign seeks probe
The TABOR campaign questions activities by the legislative staffs of Senate President and gubernatorial candidate Elizabeth Mitchell and House Speaker Hannah Pingree, both Democrats.
The TABOR campaign claims documents obtained through a Freedom of Access Act request show that taxpayer-funded legislative resources and legislative staff time were used to fight Questions 2 and 4. Those questions on next Tuesday's ballot seek excise tax curbs and new spending and tax restrictions.
Mitchell's and Pingree's offices dismiss TABOR's claims as "baseless and withiut fact."

Now what do you think? It's time for one major investigation!
verified This deserves a close look,
This deserves a close look, but the AG will do anything to protect her fellow liberals. The corruption within the State of Maine must get exposed, and it's only a matter of time before that happens. As they say, "the rats are running scared" but we need to catch them. Please call the AG's office today and demand an investigation of this matter:
Tel. 207-626-8800
While they're at it, I hope they also investigate the massive in-kind political donations coming from liberal organizations like MEA, SEIU Local 1989, Maine Municipal Association, AFL-CIO of Maine, Maine People's Alliance, and so many more.
The fraud must be stopped!

How does this cost the state "millions" every year.
All the best,

verified You're right I should have
You're right I should have said every election cycle that this measure, and all the others put forth by the commie "Maine Heritage Policy Council", has come up for a vote.
verified This was such a bogus
This was such a bogus charge, the AG's office dismissed it. Yet the SJ gives these people free publicity anyway. Honesty, isn't it bad enough that the Maine Heritage Policy Center keeps these referendums going costly this state millions every year?

This is an important start to resurrecting the fishery in the Gulf of Maine. The article does not mention how corrupted the natural flows of the Kennebec River watershed are. Timing and amounts of flow volume has been greatly changed over the last 40 years. Storage lakes at the headwaters and ponds feeding the Kennebec are now keep full all spring, summer, and into late fall. Many ponds are not drawn down at all like they historically were. China Lake is a good example. This change in flows upsets migrational cues among other impacts. It is very easy to screen off turbines so the young salmon do not become minced by the blades and build working fishways. We need leadership in Augusta who want to restore a once great industry.

The Democrat sacrament is envy, or class warfare.
I propose as captain of this lunar expedition our very own moonbat-in-chief, BHO; and as executive officer, of course, Joe "foot-in-mouth" Biden. Lift-off is set for 1/20/13.
Decoteau's letter proves that the full moon exaggerates lunacy.

Ronald, If you have not
Ronald,
If you have not noticed, everything I’ve listed is a growth in the size of government, a growth in government spending or a program in crisis.
A tax cut does not belong in that list. While a tax cut may grow the size of the national debt, a tax cut does not necessarily grow the size of government nor does it increase spending.
Moreover, you selectively forgot to add your favorites, Bill Clinton and Obama, to your list of tax cutting presidents. Any reason why? Maybe your Cuban pharmacist is giving you placeboes!
