what have 38% elected

It seems that huff and puff can't tell the facts even when put in a corner.Remember that bit about the black prisoners and the state prison visit! yea you know the kiss my butt bit that rallied his idiotic caveman base!(the go back to rob you blind crew)
seems that offer was for all prisoners, and the truth is he tried to pass it off as poor communication; which in fact was pure fabrication!
now his chief of staff is caught in a financial mess;(this does not surprise me,includes back taxes) seems he just another rethug who wants to lower taxes for himself and derive the benefits of your tax dollar!
I'll bet that 38% is close to 20% today and dropping like a rock!
LOUD BOISTEROUS BEHAVIOR BEGETS HUGE COSTLY ERRORS!

1. this relates to my post
like I said in my post the biggest "WHINNERS" are the ones already playing the system!

Selectman Donald Russell asked if would be prudent to reduce the interest rate to entice people to pay, as opposed to paying 30 percent of funds collected to a collection agency, to see if it would have good results. Knight said he has been told selectmen and town staff don’t have the right to waive the interest rate established at town meeting.

Russell also noted that many of the businesses seek annual permits from the town to keep operating, and asked if the town could require that personal property balances be paid before the town issues a permit, adding, “Because this is crazy. I couldn’t believe it when I saw some of these people,” who are the list.

Knight said the town could adopt an ordinance that would allow it to place such a condition on the permitting application process.

Ronald Riendeau, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, suggested, “We could start reading (the names of those in arrears) on public television. I think some of the people would be shocked to realize who some of these are, because I know I was.”

BELIEVE ME THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE STATE WHILE THE ELECTORATE IS KEPT IN THE DARK!
WAKE UP -YOU THINK HIS CHIEF OF STAFF IS THE ONLY ONE WHO OWES BACK TAXES ON HIS BUSINESS VENTURES?

2. 0H YES MR VOTER

HERE IS MORE TO PROVE WE HAVE THE FOX GUARDING THE CHICKEN COOP!

Since the goal of the Clean Water Act is to improve water quality, Friedman asks why not set the classification at Class B and then work to make sure that even under that worst-case scenario the water quality doesn’t degrade to the lesser Class C level?

The DEP, perhaps reflecting the “business-friendly” mandate of the LePage administration, wouldn’t budge.

The impasse set the stage for a compromise, of sorts: Why not give the lower Androscoggin an intermediate grade? “C-plus” or “B-minus” ... take your pick.

In an April 3 e-mail sent to the DEP’s Susan Davies, Goodall, and the Republican co-chairmen of the Environment and Natural Resources Committee, Sen. Tom Saviello of Wilton and Rep. Jim Hamper of Oxford, Friedman laid out his concerns:

“By creating a special class, we will be bidding adieu to the practical application of a goal-based standard as intended by the Clean Water Act, Maine statute and DEP submission guidelines,” Friedman wrote. “It is truly sad that when maybe less than 1 percent of field measurements are less than Class B, there is not more support on the committee for an upgrade. It begs the question: If 99 percent compliance doesn’t justify application of a goal-based standard, what would?”

Absolutely, it’s the right question to raise.

But politically the likely answer is that the DEP’s model-based finding only supports a Class C designation at this time, end of discussion — unless there’s a compromise.

Friedman knows that — which is why his e-mail expresses a willingness to support “locking in existing field-data-based results as an incremental upgrade.” Doing so, he says, would provide some impetus to efforts along the lower Androscoggin to continue improving its water quality.

OF COURSE THOSE OF US THAT REMEMBER THE STENCH OF THE RIVER IN THE 50'S AND THE INFAMOUS LEGACY WE STUDIED IN GRADE SCHOOL " PICKEREL OR JOBS"
WE WANT OUR LEGACY TO BE CLEAN UP THE RIVERS,LOWER THE CANCER RATE AND HEALTH PROBLEMS THIS STATE HAS! BUSINESS CLEAN UP YOUR ACT! AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN MOVE IT OVERSEAS TO INFECT THAT POPULATION!
