In light of the recent hostage situation in Jay, I would like to know:
Since state police have radios, what is the need of them driving very fast on crowded roads to get to a hostage situation that was already well attended by police, just to stand around for most of a day?
After finding that the hostage situation had been contained by the Jay police out back at the administrative offices, why would those state police hold up all other business for the whole day, especially trucks waiting to enter the front of the mill?
Why should the Jay schools, a half-mile away, be closed and not the whole town doing business?
On another topic:
Why would anyone vote for State Treasurer Bruce Poliquin (to take Olympia Snowe’s Senate seat) after hearing that he put much of his extensive land on the coast into the Tree Growth plan?
Aren’t we trying to weed out such out-for-their-own-agenda politicians?
