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.

That is unfortunate!

That doesn't sound like it should be possible (well, procedurally or legally). What are the elected republicans like in Maine? Are they conservative or RINOs?
