Tax return - tax refund
It would be good if the SJ would assign stories like this to reporters who know the meanings of the terms "tax return" and "tax refund." Someone who writes a story without knowing the difference only adds to the dumbing down of newspaper reporting.
Well rounded education
I don't see much mention here of the idea that a well educated, broadly educated, public is necessary for the functioning of a democracy. Or that a well rounded, "little of everything" education may well be of more value to an individual in private life than any large amounts of cash that might be amassed in the marketplace by someone with a focused, career oriented education. Are executive recruiters who give hiring preference to prospects with a broad liberal education trying to maximize their firm's return on wages paid? Or are they mistaken and wasting stockholder dollars?
There is more to be considered in the design of a public educational system than finding efficient ways to crank out good corporate employees.
Spin
You are doing a very good job of spinning, Ms. Teel: “This is not raiding MaineCare; it is rescuing it.”
Useless energy costs?
Useless energy costs? Useless energy costs? What?
Thank goodness.
Yes, thank goodness the people who really care are finally in charge.
