An attempt by the political class in Maine to extend term limits from four terms to six has been defeated. The Bangor Daily News is reporting 67% againt the measure and only 30% in favor. This is one of the bluest of blue states with the Democrats holding a large majority in the state house of representatives.

Thank you, Sarge!
Is it possible that the land of my birth is waking up?....nah, not likely.
and I voted against most of the bond issues - they were all in the tens of millions - good grief, there’s only a million and a half men, women, children and cats in the whole state...
Not to mention that Maine has the highest taxes in the nation at 13% - with NY next at a full % point lower! Yep. First for taxes, 34th for income....to damn many decades of democrat rule. Maine used to be solid republican, but through a lot of illegalities come vote counting time, they got control and keep control. and now we have Gov Baldaci - everything his eye falls on is looked upon as a taxable commodity
Apparently the pigs don’t like losing their spot at the trough. Term limits for EVERY politician, local, state, or national would save America—if it’s not too late....
