My in-laws have a house in Maine (near MDI) that they live in June-September. I have never seen a more beautiful place--I love it.

What is it with the politics there?

The Politics?  The Politics SUCK in Maine.  A Blue State.  The rest of us are trying to figure out how to grab hold again.

Maine can't keep a decent business.  Maine is the highest taxed state in the Union plus it's the second in the Union for poverty.  The lawmakers are gluttons.  All for them and nothing for us.

I'm sorry to hear that. My husband is worried about the Bath Iron Works not staying open. He went to the University of Maine for his undergrad and absolutely loves the state (after going there, I can understand why).

I've read that Mainers have the highest tax burden per capita. We've looked at houses there online and get sticker shock at the property tax in some areas (of course, we're looking near the ocean). Jobs are a whole other story, tho.

Isn't it interesting how lawmakers often look at things ass-backwards? Taxing the people while driving business out. Our idiots in California are the same way. It's so maddening.

Is this why Mama Baldachi's exist?
