Bill Proposed to Include Town of Berwick, Maine in Pine Tree Zone Corporate Welfare Benefits

Tweet This: http://goo.gl/0m1HSr Beth O'Connor is a Maine State Legislator who threatened to block me from Maine Tax Payers United during election season for criticizing LePage. Eventually she had her proxy block me. But today I saw a post on Facebook by Beth promoting a bill she is sponsoring to add the town of Berwick to the special interests groups in Maine which are qualified to receive Pine Tree Zone benefits- one of the Maine Development Corporation's many  corporate welfare programs: Maine LD 93: An Act To Allow the Town of Berwick To Be Eligible for Full Pine Tree Development Zone Benefits I made the comment below and a few others before Beth caught on and blocked me once again from posting comments on her Facebook page.  In Maine it is common practice for public representatives to block the voices of those expressing views that the politician does not want to hear.

Beth O'Conner: To the editor: I am responding to “Wrong Camp” 9/11/14 by Rebecca Hopper. First, tha nk you Rebecca for your willingness to use your first amendment rights and the right to go out and vote as a citizen of our beautiful state.    Second, there are a few mistakes in the numbers you sighted regarding Medicaid expansion. There would not have been a savings of $570 million.   The administrative costs alone in this expansion would have cost the taxpayers in excess of 7 million dollars annually and by the 2020 -2021 biennial budget the taxpayers will have to pay an additional 150 million dollars.

Fiscal Conservative VS Constitutional Conservative

Share on Twitter with this Short Link  http://goo.gl/olLtZE The moderator of Maine Taxpayers United FaceBook Page is running for state legislature as a Republican and is actively campaigning for Governor LePage's re-election. I was recently threatened to be blocked from posting for  criticizing Governor Lepage- which she called "tiresome" Beth O'Connor   Mackenzie at every turn you bash our Governor, who is doing a good job. You have also derailed the context of this thread and this is not the first time. The BOD of MTU fully support Governor LePage and your constant assaults on him are becoming tiresome in this forum.
