A message to the Democrats in Augusta

It's time to fix our budget. We are the highest taxed state in the country and we have one of the lowest incomes in the country. It's time to take a step back and look at the big picture. Mainers have great confidence in the Democrats in Augusta to fix this problem. We voted no on TABOR, we voted for Baldacci, and we elected a Democratic majority. We want the Democrats in control. But you need to fix the budget, because things could get real dicey in 2008. TABOR carried 45% of the vote here in Maine. That shows you that people want our budget fixed. I'm calling on our state legislature to tackle this issue head on, in a non-partisan way.
