We The People

What a success story, able to stay home, collect welfare while I work and support her so she can become a nurse. Meanwhile, I have been working extra hours, holidays, missing birthdays and years later......still have the same job, trying to support my family. Now that she is a nurse, I want to quit and have her pay for me..........someone ask her to return the money since she finally made it and along those lines, why don't we all quit our jobs until the right one comes along.. THATS A SUCCESS STORY?? Give me a break!

Jumping to conclusions

Just a response to fixit001. You know what they say about opinions bud! Although I do not know Denis Jean on a personal level, I know my father liked and respected him when he was working for the City Council. I believe Denis Jean is doing the responsible thing which for all we know, will put a tremendous amount of stress on Irene and Phil. It has been my experience (24 years public service) that you do not replace a person like Denis easily....if at all. The Denis' experience in negotiations in and of itself probably paid for his salary. Good luck Denis and especially good luck to Irene and Phil......I think you're gonna need it.

Awesome

This was an AWESOME tip provided by and unknown person. I think the administrators at DHHS should be thanking this person with a generous reward for the tip.....perhaps take some of the salary away and give it to the person who actually contributed to the State of Maine!

AWESOME

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!! This is an awesome idea which is based on competition, loyalty, discipline and TEAM play. To those parents who do not have their kids involved....you should bring them and use it as a learning experience at the very least.

It was fast......

The snow came down very fast. I will, at this time, reserve my opinion about Lewiston Public Works and the response considered to be slow by some, however, if it happens again........I am looking for volunteers with a shovel and some sand.
