The Department of Health and Human Services is not doing its job. It isn’t going after people who are cheating the welfare system.

Welfare enrollment has increased 70 percent since 2003.

I believe that the welfare system has been broken for more than 35 years. The hard-working people of Maine who need help are turned down because they make just a few dollars too much.

I am so sick of paying my state taxes to a broken welfare system. For more than 35 years, Democrats, including Libby Mitchell, have been running Maine into a hole. It is time for new blood.

Paul LePage would fix the broken welfare system and go after people who are cheating the system. That’s why I support Paul LePage for governor.
