CountyGuy of Caribou, ME I know Holland and his relative that works in the same building with McGowan--and what is left of his staff. Morale is hideously low and even his political appointees are desperately hoping the rumors of his December departure to begin running for (ha!) governor are true. Anything to be rid of a self-centered hot-headed political hack who believes the state treasury is there for his own use and screaming at people is the best way to get what he wants. Tilberg is an attorney who left Conservation for the Governor's office where Baldacci put her in charge of watching McGowan and reigning in his abuses.report abuse

HarryMc of Augusta, ME I would have to agree with Paul Frye of Augusta 100%. Capitol Security and the Augusta Police Department did an outstanding job. State Police and the Sheriff's Office were there to offer support. Everyone in law enforcement worked well together.report abuse

PAUL FRYE of AUGUSTA, ME Just a quick note to you Jeff. While the State Police were there if needed, this matter was handled by Capitol Security and the Augusta Police Department. The matter was handled with patience and calmness by all involved directly with the people inside. I was there from beginning to end. While I may not agree with the reason for the protest or the manner in which it was carried out it all went smoothly.report abuse

Ghetto Garage of Augusta, ME Bill; get a life! Seriously have you lost your marbles? If Kirsten is your so called "adopted' daughter then why would you continue to sit behind your computer and blog about her husband. Seems like you've lost your touch Papa! Apprently the information you are revieving about Mr. McGowan is not true, factual or even up to date information. Remember the saying, don't always believe what you hear.report abuse
