Good OLD tax and spend Mitchell, she is trying to do to Maine what the carpetbaggers did to the south following the Civil War..the south still contends it did not lose..maybe they are right..it appears they are sending their people here and destroying from within. much like a cancer, and Mainers are too damned stupid to see it!
