This election has made me
This election has made me sick. Where can I get some medical marijuana so I can feel better? Have any of the dispensaries opened for business yet?
Do the people of Maine
Do the people of Maine realized they have just voted exactly as the out of state interests wanted? We will continue to discriminate and be seen as bigots. We will pay higher taxes to fund the playgound for the out of staters. We can be influenced, controlled, and manipulated to maintain at our expense their resort the way they like it. Without a doubt there will be no development in Maine's future as this is not in the plan of the out of staters. Without a doubt wind power will be killed here even though it would benefit Maine (Harvard conract) because it does not benefit the out of staters who only want us as their resort funded by us held in abject poverty with no options.

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!
