June 20, 2017 – State budget showdown highlights chasm between fiscal conservatives and leftist progressives March 21st, 2017 – Maine people who work hard and play by the rules recognize a conflict of interest when they see one. So they aren’t buying the spin from House Speaker Sara Gideon, D-Freeport, that Rep. Ryan Tipping, D-Orono, did nothing wrong when he accepted $9,000 from a political action committee to advocate for the passage of 2016 ballot initiative for an income surtax to fund education.

March 3rd, 2017 – Is it smart public policy to allow municipal governments in Maine to harbor illegal immigrants in defiance of federal immigration law? February 16th, 2017 – At least 200 people demonstrated at the University of Southern Maine campus Thursday night in opposition to a lecture on immigration by Rep. Lawrence Lockman, a Republican lawmaker known for making divisive and polarizing statements.

November 28th, 2016 – An opinion piece penned by a state representative from Amherst who said in September that Maine should close its doors to immigrants has spurred a local chalk artist to design a display in opposition. November 27th, 2016 – Just when you thought Maine’s leftist media elites had hit rock bottom in their post-election meltdown, along comes the Portland Press Herald editorial board with a patronizing hit piece (Nov. 20) slamming us “rural voters” in Maine and across the country for the deplorable outcome on Nov. 8. October 31st, 2016 – In a classic case of shooting the messenger, state Rep. Jeff McCabe, D-Skowhegan, and the chairman of the Maine Democratic Party are directing their heavy artillery in my direction because I called them out for protecting the flow of welfare dollars to illegal immigrants in Maine. September 6, 2016 – Strip away all the grandstanding, chest-thumping, and election-year politics that erupted in the wake of Gov. Paul LePage’s controversial comments about drug dealers, and his subsequent voicemail message to a Democrat legislator – and what’s left? The same psychological disorder that’s afflicted progressives since the day LePage took office.
This is just another outbreak of LePage Derangement Syndrome, most likely a delayed reaction to the outcome of the last election.
September 4, 2016 – Maine’s dangerous decade-long experiment with open borders and welfare for noncitizens is blowing up in our faces. It’s time to pull the plug on this foolishness before more innocent people are injured or killed.Who could have imagined, in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, that Maine would choose to celebrate diversity by throwing open the doors to thousands of Muslim immigrants without regard to whether they entered the country legally? June 15, 2016 – This is a comment I received from an 81-year old widow in Penobscot County in response to a constituent survey I mailed to every household in my District earlier this year:
“A woman and her five kids and pregnant daughter came up from Florida and got on welfare immediately. Got her check-up for both her and her daughter. Had her teeth out. I had to pay $1,500 to have mine out. She got new dentures. I had to pay $2,000 for mine. She got new glasses. I had to pay $600 for mine. Her daughter had her baby on welfare. They both had pap and breast exams. They went back to Florida within about 6 months, bought 2 dogs and a parrot while they were here, also destroyed the house they were renting.”.. |
