Budget cuts , Short Update, Random snippets

I have not been posting, see the picture above, but the current situation in Maine and the country does not let me stay silent. Sorry about this short post, but from here on in I will try to give you some local new, links to interesting places, and of course as always a Union friendly spot.


With the new budget put out by Gov. LePage, almost all of the cuts he proposed are on the poor or on State Employees.
Governor LePage is also angering the legislature by ignoring even the leadership on the Republican side. Does he think the Maine legislators are Mardens store managers who have to take it or be fired?


Will the public approve his proposed cuts to the State Police, the State workforce, and his wholesale give away of Maine's clean air and water to corporate plunder? In this case some of the Tea Party may end up being strange allys once they figure out they have been had and that cutting the tax on motor vehicles while tossing the sick and the helpless in the new "dump anywhere" snow banks, is his plan, not fiscal responsibility.

You just might be surprised by the rationality and common issues many in the  Tea Party have with many on the Left. If they can ignore the tree hugging, I can ignore (happily) Sarah Palin. 

We have to listen to each other, after all without the Tea Party the whole bastardization of civil rights called the Patriot act would have passed easily.
Stay tuned for more on the Cat Food pension reform and the plan to put 600 violent criminals in Milo.
