During a brief visit to Maine this weekend I noted that the Kennebec Journal in Waterville reports the same concerns in Maine as highlighted in our recent Vermont election. They are: health care costs, economic development and too-high taxes. The New York Times today also points to the fiscal problems facing most state legislatures. We have a tough two years ahead to balance our respective state budgets.
Maine is toying with an Indian casino in Sanford and perhaps a second in northern Maine. Thankfully, we have no federally recognized Vermont Indian tribes, otherwise they'd be wanting a casino in Vermont. Let's not go down that road here, Mr. Douglas. Governor Dean, to his credit, opposed Vermont casino gambling and Powerball. I hope you, sir, follow suit.
