BDN: Ethics scandal reaches Tipping point at Statehouse 

March 21st, 2017 - Maine people who work hard and play by the rules recognize a conflict of interest when they see one. So they aren’t buying the spin from House Speaker Sara Gideon, D-Freeport, that Rep.

Central Maine: McCabe Owes Explaination on 'Sanctuary City' bill

​October 31st, 2016 - In a classic case of shooting the messenger, state Rep.

Maine Wire: It’s Time to Grow up and Get on with Serious Business

September 6, 2016 - Strip away all the grandstanding, chest-thumping, and election-year politics that erupted in the wake of Gov. Paul LePage’s controversial comments about drug dealers, and his subsequent voicemail message to a Democrat legislator – and what’s left? The same psychological disorder that’s afflicted progressives since the day LePage took office.
This is just another outbreak of LePage Derangement Syndrome, most likely a delayed reaction to the outcome of the last election.

Maine Wire: Progressives Have Turned Their Backs on Maine’s Most Vulnerable Citizens

June 15, 2016 - This is a comment I received from an 81-year old widow in Penobscot County in response to a constituent survey I mailed to every household in my District earlier this year:
 
“A woman and her five kids and pregnant daughter came up from Florida and got on welfare immediately. Got her check-up for both her and her daughter. Had her teeth out. I had to pay $1,500 to have mine out. She got new dentures. I had to pay $2,000 for mine. She got new glasses. I had to pay $600 for mine. Her daughter had her baby on welfare. They both had pap and breast exams. They went back to Florida within about 6 months, bought 2 dogs and a parrot while they were here, also destroyed the house they were renting.”..
