What is Secretary of State Matt Dunlap going to do when Mainers cant fly out of Bangor,Portland,Boston or Manchester because he held tough on his screw the feds line? This is one of Baldacci`s solders doing his dirty work. Mainers can pay that $4.00 a gal gas thats coming cause they wont be flying anywhere soon.

Maine has always received most of its funding from the federal government. Do you think Maine taxpayers are paying for all the welfare assistance distributed in Maine? Not possible.

Don't you just love it???
Why do most of the posts from Maine always talk about Federal assistance, State assistance, and/or what are you going do do for us.....The WELFARE state is broke!!!!!! Lets get off the teet and start working toward spending/funding only what is available today, not some dream, like monies from unused Gift Cards. Which Democrat is going to turn the lights off when they leave Maine?
