Stick it to our tourist again!  Can't smoke in Maine plus their vacations in this state will cost even more with taxes.

May through October is STICK IT TO THE TOURIST AGAIN season!

Thank you Rep. Sean Faircloth, D-Bangor!  You are such a RAT!

Let's see: a tax on Wal-mart, a tax on drinkers, a tax on smokers, a tax on.... there's never a mention of cutting spending. You get the idea.

Mainers (or is it Downeasters) are gluttons for punishment.

In a saner time, the Maine Legislature would have been chained in the attic, never to be spoken of.

Not one of these economic geniuses calls for a cut in state spending.

Welcome to Utopia.

Next year he will suggest another set of tax hikes on beer, wine, bar drinks and cigarettes, meal and lodging taxes during the months of November through April.

Maine must be taking lessons from Taxman Taft here in Ohio. He has levied taxes on everything that didn't have a tax and raised taxes on everything else, but he is still looking for more ways to tax us. And poor Bob just can't understand why businesses are leaving and people are moving out of Ohio. DUH, get a clue, Bob!

These idiots are simply amazing. You would think that citizens in Maine would realize what is going on but a lot of staunchly indoctrinated to hating big business.

The unraveling of a local mill was interesting yet tragic. Most of the mill workers looked to the union to help save their jobs. The union refused to work with the mill on a budget that would work. They are all now unemployed and most of them blame big business rather than the union.

I wish I had seen this earlier. I had a friend over for coffee this AM and she and her boyfriend are both smokers.

They have a condo on the coast of Maine and are debating whether to keep it or not.If they knew they were going to get gouged by the state of Maine every summer that may influence their decision.

Is Rep.Faircloth a complete idiot?
