Two questions on the November ballot could impact the Maine workforce for generations – one bad, the other good. Question 1, the Maine People’s Alliance universal home-care tax, is a very bad idea.

Rep. Dale Denno, D-Cumberland, has represented all of us in District 45 with passion, dignity and respect. He appreciates the special quality of life we enjoy here in Maine and has worked to protect the health and environment of its citizens by supporting health care for all Maine citizens, by co-sponsoring bills to protect children’s […]
