I hope that this November people use common sense when they vote for a candidate.

Everyone knows who got our country into the mess it is in. I know some don’t think the administration has done enough to correct the wrongs, but think what the alternative could have been.

One of the candidates for governor claims to have created several jobs at his company (Marden’s). I believe that is a falsehood. That company was started by another person. But the bottom line is that this state has too many jobs where the employees do not make a livable wage, so the taxpayers have to subsidize them through government programs. We can’t afford more of those kinds of jobs.

That is why I am supporting common-sense people: Sheryl Briggs, John Patrick, Roy Gedat, Libby Mitchell and Mike Michaud.
