I am appalled that Gov. Paul LePage is considering removing funding for the Maine Public Broadcasting Network. That is another example of his efforts to block Mainers from educational opportunities and from provocative dialogue. Those things are the foundation of our constitutional rights, and a well-educated electorate is essential for that to work.

The constituency must speak up and protect their rights to hear all sides of the argument.

I hope the voters of Maine will join me in support of MPBN and the wonderful work it does to help us understand the world around us.
