If Maine Voters pass Water Front Bond- Will It Go to Aqua Ventus Windmill Project?

TWEET THIS POST !!  http://goo.gl/PJBYUH I feel torn between the feeling that I am spending too much time on this blog- and the short amount of time before elections. I would like to write a longer posts on the Bonds issues, so nicely packaged as "creating Jobs" for rural people, small businesses and the waterfront, which means more capital in the hands of Maine's un-elected boards of Maine's unconstitutional corporations, quasi's and "business consortium" -raising questions such as " If the waterfront bond is passed- how much of it will be channeled to the state's own business consortium - Aqua Ventus ? When the state wanted in on the windmill business that had been granted by PUC to Statoil, that was easy- just rewrite the PUC regulations and drive Statoil out! It worked like a charm but when it came to recieving the 47 million of freshly printed dollars from the feds that Statoil was scheduled to get- Aqua Ventus recieved only three mi

Whose Been Filtering the #mepolitics Twitter Stream?

TWEET THIS POST ! http://goo.gl/fguFuY Yesterday, I noticed that my posts were either not displaying or went missing after a while on the #mepolitics twitter stream, which streams live on As Maine Goes. I also noticed that there were other independent political voices missing from that same stream and the stream took on an eerie appearance of the eternal brotherhood of the Maine government & the Maine press, useful, to my perspective, only in keeping up to date on news stories such as the story published by the Bangor Daily News about Question #3- yet another bond promoted as being in support of Maine's economy. http://goo.gl/FJenQu Credit goes to the Bangor Daily News for still, at this date, so close to elections allowing the people's voice to be heard in the comments section, which is in stark contrast to the Maine media coverage of last years Expanded and Improved Seed Capital Tax Credit.  The people's response in the comments section is a resound

Maine Investment Fund Blog Artfully Parses Language to Occlude Role of The Maine Taxpayers.

Maine Taxpayers United For The Maine Constitution TWEET THIS POST ! http://goo.gl/rauNmN Just an observation but if I tweet my blog post from which this was taken with #mepolitics and another hash tag. The tweet displays on the other hash tag but not on #mepolitics. This has occurred with a number of retries with different tweets on this subject matter. This is the way politics is being done in Maine - especially as the political season heats up. The political class wants to control the talking points. That is the state of affairs of politics in Maine today. Recently The Small Enterprise Growth Fund Changed its name to The Maine Venture Fund. The MVF is a taxpayer subsidized high growth investors company. As with all of the corporations in the state corporate network, it was chartered by the Maine legislature in violation of the prohibition against the legislature chartering corporations to serve state purposes as found. in Article IV Part Third, Section 14 of the Maine Sta

Lets Be Polite - Election Talking Points Only and No Debate Please !

TWEET THIS !!   http://goo.gl/eS8sLi Yesterday, my energy was sidelined by this FaceBook Discussion in which I replied to this post by Candidate for State Representative Beth O' Conner with the question : Can you explain how Governor Lepage took 70 thousand of our lowest income workers off the tax rolls so they can better support their families? 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. The federal govern
