"The Republicans dug too greedily and too deep..."
From mainetoday.com: (regarding the anti-gay rights rally in Augusta last week)
"Speakers ranged far afield during the hour-long rally, citing the Mayflower Compact, the Bible, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien and even the inclement weather itself."
Ok, the Mayflower Compact, the Bible, and the weather I can understand, but the Lord of the Rings??? Apparently I missed the chapter with the gay orcs.
On a more serious note, it appears that Sen. Richard Nass (profiled in "For the Greater Glory of Mammon...") is still up to his usual tricks. He's listed as a cosponsor on LD 1032: RESOLUTION, Proposing an Amendment to the Constitution of Maine To Lower the Income Tax, now looking at the text of the bill, when it goes into the reduction of the income tax rates, it begins with "Maximum income tax rates on individuals may not exceed the following amounts...." and then it goes into phasing in a reduction of the maximum income tax rate to a whopping 3.5%. Remember, this means that the top income tax bracket in the state will be paying this percentage. All the multi-millionaires in Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, and Capes Porpoise and Elizabeth will only pay as much as 3.5% in income tax if this bill were passed. It's interesting how some of these buffoons carry on about deficit spending while they propose, cosponsor, or vote for tax cuts as radical as this.
