I cannot believe that Maine state officials can be so mean. I just got a letter from the state saying that, since I got a $2 raise from Social Security, my food stamps allotment will be lowered by that same amount.

What a bunch of soulless, mean-spirited administrators.

That is what they do to senior citizens. I get a tiny raise from one source and get it taken away from another. Why bother giving me any raise? I am back to square one. It is a slap in the face. Outsiders get treated better.

I am so discouraged about it all. Why do they waste paper, all for nothing?

I worked all my life here in Maine and brought up my seven children, paid taxes on my home. This is how I am paid back.

Folks like myself are in our later years and should be treated better that this.

I am sure that is the reason why Gov. Paul LePage acts the way he does. He is sick and tired of what is happening here in Maine.

God help us all.
