Retired fiscal conservative from out of state, living on a pension. -- Distrust of both political parties.
Pet peeves: Tort lawyers, the obscene class action suits and the excessive settlements in medical suits that are ruining our health care system. -- Socialism: The sheer number of social programs we have, their abuse and lack of oversight. We do not have enough working people in Maine to support these lavish programs, though they are compassionate. --- Legislative bodies that waste time in minutia: The State of Maine needs jobs. In order to attract businesses that would provide those jobs, our representatives need to address our tax imbalance in comparison to the rest of the country. We need to get our taxes down to one of the lowest in the country. This will bring in the jobs & stimulus that our economy needs. Instead they tie themselves up in sheer nonsense, wasting time that could be spent getting a handle on the hard issues.
