Bridge report

The Maine Department of Transportion's "Bridges To Watch" list notes nearly 400 bridges that are in need of repair or replacement. Why hasn't the Maine legislature made this state's transportation infrastructure a priority?

Why protect the status quo?

Ray questions why the unions are against the Verizon-FairPoint deal.

Irony is king at the Legislature

Raise the minimum wage while cutting lottery sales commissions to the businesses most impacted by the minimum wage hike .... Ray asks, "Where have the pro-small business elected leaders gone?"

All Ray is asking is, Give Fairpoint a chance.

Ray expresses disappointment over the staff report recommending the denial of the sale of Verizon to Fairpoint. He believes they should have given approval with conditions.

Looking for bright spots

Ray reflects on Tuesday's election, taking comfort in the extremely narrow margin by which two of the bond issues passed. Maine people are waking up to the fact that bond money isn't free.

Kudos to Jenkins

Ray congratulations Auburn Mayor John Jenkins, who, in a historic vote, won re-election as a write-in candidate.

No on Question 1

Ray explains why a racino is too big a gamble for Washington County.
