About Me

Name:
Location: Brunswick, Maine, United States

I'll be taking an 'unpaid leave of absence' from my job at the Global Network from December 15-March 15, 2020 in order to help my friend Lisa Savage on her campaign for the US Senate in Maine. She's running as a Maine Green Independent Party member and needs to gather 2,000 petition signatures of registered Greens during that period. I'll be back to GN after March 15.

OPEN FOR CONTROVERSY

Maine's new Tea Party Republican Gov. Paul LePage has opened the state to "business" and to endless controversy. As one enters Maine the state welcome sign has been "augmented" by the governor to include an additional sign that reads "Open for Business". This past weekend someone took the sign down and it is now missing.

While at the state capital today I learned that the sign is now available for "trade" - an even swap for the labor mural that Gov. LePage recently pulled down from the walls of the Maine Department of Labor. Will the governor agree to the deal?

Love it, reposted it. LePaige is an arrogant little monkey, isn't he?

Hilarious, but where is the indication the sign is up for ransom?
