Preserving The American Political Philosophy

Mackenzie Andersen   Jul 5 (10 days ago) to  Wendy Dear Ms Wolf. The JECD is the agency claiming it has authority to develop their master plan for our communities and so I have addressed the freedom of information request to the JECD. I am requesting authorization of JECD's authority-by the registered voters of Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor, as it regards any activity involved in the construction of buildings for industrial use. It is the JECD's selected consultants which is being funded on the taxpayers dime-per article in the Register.  Our municipal governments are governed by the Maine State Constitution" which is very specific about the source of authority for the type of project which the JECD is clearly developing. Please explain why you feel this does not apply to the JECD. Municipal Home Rule provides the rule of law for the construction of buildings, which it is reasonable to assume is teh JECD's master plan ...

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...

Continuing the discussion of the Joint Economic Development Council of Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor: I was under the impression that the voters of Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor had voted for the joint council. I wanted to read the text of the referendum to see if it comports with constructing buildings for industrial use so I presented the JECD with a freedom of information request. I surprised and taken aback by the answer: Dear Ms Wolf, This is a freedom of access request for the text of the public referendums of Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor which approved the formation of the JECD as well as the public referendum for a bond funds for the hiring of architecture, landscaping, engineering and data consultants. for both municipalities. Thank You very much for your assistance in this Freedom of Information request. Mackenzie Andersen, East Boothbay Maine. Dear Ms. Andersen: The JEDC was established by a formal joint agreement between the Select Boards of Boothbay and Booth...

Recently there was an article in the Boothbay Register about the secret society devising a master economic development plan for the Boothbay Region. There was a comment discussion about it in which I was involved. The discussion was deleted and comments were closed but I kept thinking further about the subject and so I submitted a letter to the Lincoln County News, The letter was not published and so I am posting it here. It is called propaganda when only one side of anything is allowed to be expressed. Maine has been oppressed by propaganda for a very long time, which is why I published by book, Public Private Relationships and the New Owners of the Means of Production. Thank You Internet for allowing another avenue of communication! UNPUBLISHED LETTER TO THE LINCOLN COUNTY NEWS Dear Editor and Community, I am an independent researcher. Many of you may know our family business Andersen Design. About seven years ago, I became involved in researching Maine's economic devel...
