I read almost every day the discussion over whether Sen. Susan Collins is still a moderate. Yes, she has cast more votes against the Republican majority than most other senators in her party, but please look at the times when she did so. She votes that way only when she has permission from Senate Majority […]

Republican Susan Collins has been an independent, moderate and eminently reasonable senator for many years! Recently, she co-authored and delivered millions of dollars through the Paycheck Protection Program, which helped businesses stay open, and allowed hundreds of thousands of Mainers pay their rent or mortgages and provide food for their families.
