The good people of Maine have a good opportunity. For more that 30 years Democrats have been in power. We’ve lost jobs in the state, we have one of the lowest ratings of bringing employment into the state. The younger generations are leaving. Nothing has changed, except that it keeps getting worse.

At election time, they promise to do this and that if we elect them. We have the same problems when we first elected them. They have had years to correct this and they have done nothing.

We have a man in Augusta who thinks borrowing 400 million dollars is going to get us out of debt. Somehow, I always thought when you borrow money, you are creating debt. Their solution to our problem is to raise taxes. How about trying to run the government more efficiently. Try finding places to cut without scaring the people with cutting the budgets of the school department and police department. If that’s all they can come up with, then it’s time they go! At least we should try something different.

Augusta is like a toilet, It’s time to flush it! If we don’t try, it will never happen.
