Maine State Inc Tries a Banana Republic Takeover of Central Maine Power

One of the first things a member of the Maine Legislature does is to take an oath to uphold the Maine Constitution. After that the Maine Constitution is out of sight, out of mind until it is needed to beat down an opposition policy. Some unconstitutional policies are not opposed by any side, Democrat, Republican or Independent. One such unconstitutional policy is the right of the Maine Legislature to charter corporations by special act of legislation, prohibited by the Maine Constitution in Article Iv, Part Third, Section 14 . Ever since Governor Longley and the 1976 Maine Legislature deemed the centrally managed economy and the public-private government into existence, every administration and Maine Legislature has been chartering corporations by special act of legislation, willy nilly. This is what I mean when I use the term Maine State Inc- specifically the network of corporations chartered by special act of legislation, which are in most cases public-private relationships.

An Interview with Richard Light, Maine's Next Governor

An Interview with Richard Light, Maine's next governor. Richard Light talks about getting the profit motive out of the government. In the late seventies Maine's constitutional form of government was replaced the profitas the government took on the role of investment banking.The new definition of government was created by and for a board of Maine's most prosperous businesses. Under Longley's instruction the board lead the Legislature in "running the government like a business" and the Legislature deemed that "Centrally managing the economy is an essential government function, which must be done by public private relationships". Ever since, there has been no room for a true people's voice in the political spectrum. The taxpayers have been the pawns in the game- "other people's money" for which the use is not voluntary but mandated by the public side of the public private relationships replacing our Maine constitutional form of gover

The Individual Voices of Economic Development

Continuing the discussion about the JECD mission statementL Around or about the year 2007, I read two books. One was Daniel Pink's, Free Agent Nation , which described the familiar world in which I was born and bred, the other was   The Non-Profit Economy, by Burton Weisbrod . The edition, I read, of Weisbrod's book  was published in the eighties. At that time Burton Weisbrod described three separate sectors of the economy, public (government), private (free enterprise), and non-profit. At that time, as Weisbrod tells it, each sector was separate and complimentary, serving purposes which the other two sectors could not. Weisbrod identifies the emergent trend in which the three sectors merged, allowing for innovative creativity in the application of expenses in companies which combined profit and non-profit subsidiaries. In Maine the three formerly separate economic sectors have been incrementally merged into one totalitarian system serving the State's "targeted

Government by Public Private Relationships.As Maine Goes, So Goes the Country!.

During the election campaign Trump advocates sold Trump as a better executive to appoint US Supreme Court Justices than Hillary Clinton. I responded by citing Donald Trump's support for the Kelo vs New London Supreme Court decision ,which Trump praised as 100% correct.  Kelo v. City of New London,1 545 U.S. 469 (2005) was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States involving the use of eminent domain to transfer land from one private owner to another private owner to further economic development. In a 5–4 decision, the Court held that the general benefits a community enjoyed from economic growth qualified private redevelopment plans as a permissible "public use" under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. In effect Kelo vs New London says the big businesses like Trump Entertainment Industries, employing more that 1000 can override the constitutional property rights of other Americans for the purpose of economic development.
