It should be obvious which way we should vote this November. In Washington, the bigoted divider in chief is a hypocrite who publicly opposes chain migration, yet his wife’s parents both arrived here via that route. In Augusta, a similar mean-spirited governor has obstructed citizen-backed referendums that would increase the minimum wage, expand medicaid and aid to education, and refuses to release voter-approved bond issues that would fund critical improvements to Maine’s infrastructure. Republican legislators march to the governor’s beat, and likewise obstruct funding for important programs, including clean elections and highway funding. As Governor Longley would have said, “Think about it.”
