After reading this it seems thier goal is only to increase the amount these people get. After all, it's for the children. I wonder however, how many recipients smoke, have cells with text and pic plans, internet, cable, xbox's with a bizzilion games, and have live in boyfriends. I would limit what can be purchased with the EBT card. I've been behind people in line at Hanaford's and have seen the junk that is bought on our tax dollars. On the 14th I was exiting CMMC from day surgery and there was a girl walking in front of me who was complaining because her friend spent her welfare money on not what it was intended for and had asked her for money. She told her mom(?) that she wasn't going to give her any. I also wonder how many children were the product of irresponsibility. Why should the public pay for that? I bet if the right questions were really asked and truthful answers were given the so called eligibility numbers would diminish. If help is truly required then the money should be better controlled where it goes.
The club gets no money from the city. What a joke! That is called taxation without representation. The city collects thousands in snowmobile and 4 wheeler registration fees but gives zero dollars to the groups that maintain the trails and bridges. Does Lewiston give any money to their clubs? When I was the VP of the snowmobile club in Palmyra we (the rec club) got all of the fee money. We were able to improve the trails for all to use even in the summer. Auburn's hand should be forced so that taxation without representation will end.
If you recall, the Maine voters had a chance to cut the excise tax and it was voted down. I think the scare tactics from the left were the reason for this vote but nonetheless it was voted down.
People are unfortunately murdered every day. For some of you to try to blame this on a political party makes you just as psychotic as the freak that did this terrible killing. Grow up!
