Thoughts on the Walker Victory
The power of Labor Unions is diminishing rapidly in this Nation, not because the labor force has an aversion to organization and solidarity, but because the Union system has come to exemplify greed, selfishness and corruption and much of the good and honest labor force of America has a strong aversion to those attributes. But this victory for Governor Walker has an even stronger message to the political system of the United States. My good friend, Jason Savage of Maine People Before Politics aptly explains this impact in his recent post.
This is what happens when politicians do exactly what they say they’re going to do. Keeping promises is the most valuable thing an elected official CAN do. AND everytime you hear someone say this was about money– yeah, it was about the TAXPAYER’S money — not the DONOR’S or UNION’S money. -Jason Savage
I couldn’t agree more! Perhaps this will begin a transfusion of marrow to those politicians who have the proverbial “backbone of an eclair”.
Lepage’s passion for education often overlooked
One thing that is apparent when talking to Maine’s Governor is his burning passion for education in the State. One cannot hold a conversation with Maine’s top executive for very long before it invariable returns to the topic of education. He is passionate about it. It is why he grows so angry with teacher unions who have agenda based priorities rather then children based proirities. The Maine Conservative Voice applauds the Governor for his zeal and determination to bring focused and sane education to Maine.

| Some governors have been known to roll out the red carpet when a chief executive from a neighboring state comes to Maine. But Gov. Paul LePage decided to haul in the welcome mat Saturday when he heard Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley was on his way to Augusta to address the Democratic State Convention. The LePage administration put out a press release calling the Maryland governor a failure as Democrats were preparing to hear their keynote speaker. A.J. Higgins reports. | |||||||||

| Republican Gov. Paul LePage doesn’t think much of Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley’s tax policies.
As the Democratic governor was en route to speak with Maine Democrats at their state convention, LePage authorized a press release written by his staffers that cited O’Malley’s critics. They said the O’Malley administration had resorted to solving its financial problems by making them the problems of Maryland’s working families. LePage’s press release then dismissed O’Malley’s record as “a record of failure.” O’Malley said LePage’s attention was focused on policies that benefit the rich. “Some of these tea party, new age Republican governors like LePage worship the false idol of tax cuts,” O’Malley said. “The fact of the matter is that our nation’s deficit problem, 55 percent of it is driven by tax cuts that primarily benefitted the wealthiest of Americans.” O’Malley is chair of the Democratic Governors Association and he said his group is committed to electing a Democratic governor for Maine in 2014. |
