The Federal Government has bought the new population of Maine with benefits. We also are one of the very poorest states in the Union. It ain't all Ogunquit.

The stern-jawed New England Down East independent of days of yore is a very endangered rare species. Just witness the collection of hopeless RINOs and Left-Wing lulus we send to Washington and who infest the state government.
IOW, ME is turning into CT. Just far fewer people. But immigration from MAssholia is growing, and you know those people from away can't wait to make this a completely failed state, just like the one they think they are escaping.
