Wow....this guy has no clue what the truth is!! The trueth is that only 72 projects in Maine were approved – all in Lewiston and Portland - and they will only employ 1011 workers NOT 15000!! And what is going to happen once these projects are completed - the workers will be let go. Why? Because if there isn't any money to pay for them now, there certainly won't be once the "stimulus" money is used up.
