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.

Well, California is the cousin of Maine. hehe!

But it's maddening here.  And when we read how our lawmakers go behind closed doors, it just gets worse.

One night, all the DemocRATS went behind closed doors to decide on something, and never let the Republicans know about it. 

How can two parties run a state like this?  The losers are us.
