I hope she gets the support she gives the rest of the party.
...was not about Snowe it was about Sierra Club, EPA, The Greens and rules and regulations that hold up jobs whats worse the delay costs jobs to overseas companies. Paper, pu;p goes hand and hand with the oil, gas etc.
The Left is stuck on rhetoric, one liners, faux Fox; we take the time to learn ..was not about the messenger.
Your scoop is a little archaic?
Lepage has done as promised since he took over as governor. Am 100% behind him' This industry is not on the rocks:
Production has picked back up and most mills are again running at full capacity, according to Don White, CEO of Prentiss & Carlisle, a timber management company in Bangor that tracks the state’s forest products industry.
2009 was one of the worst years has been said. Maine’s pulp and paper industries are bouncing back as myriad factors — from global pulp shortages to consumers now spending more while advertising was needed to get buyers back into spending.
Maine’s paper mills for the most part make their own pulp, so are not subject to the fluctuations in the price of pulp.
The shoe and paper industry began suffering decades ago competing against cheap foreign imports. The Industry has changed as technology changes in any other industry.
Maine is one state that is tied to global markets and not just in this industry. A tug from one corner will make ripples in Maine felt by the guy driving the skidder in Township 9, Range 7. For example, mills in China buy pulp from all over the world, including Maine mills, because it doesn’t have sufficient natural resources of its own.
Eastern Maine Community College in Bangor has developed a curriculum for the course of pulp and paper. UMaine is giving out shcolarships as well. The work force is aging and new hires are coming on board. New tricks for new dogs.
“The Pulp and Paper Foundation is a key resource for the future engineers of our industry,” noted Dale Wibberly, Sappi Fine Paper North America’s human resource manager at the event. “We are very excited about the quality of engineering students who have obtained their education from UMaine.”
Its nice to at least break the stereotype of the old paper mills in maine--to see the future for this industry. The lack of decision making by the above powers that be stall advancements in this industry from coming to be. The video shows Big Government on the federal level is the culprit--the administration that was all about job creation. This is the same red tape stall in decision making facing the gas and oil industry.
Same environmentalists, another industry.
Not much to do with the paper and pulp industry down there in Bushy resort-town where you perhaps are from.
Paper and pulp demand rebounds in case anyone is interested in this industry.
Trade journals have more facts than political propagandized media outlets.
Lepage has done as promised since he took over as governor. Am 100% behind him' This industry is not on the rocks.
Lack of knowledge fuels misunderstanding on any topic--and one can only try to set the record straight.
I commend Olympia as well.
