For years, the Maine Democratic leftists have been out of control. People of Maine should wake up and vote for a businessman.

The Department of Health and Human Services needs a lot of fixing.

I see a lot of young people in Lewiston who live off the state yet can work. The state is not doing a good job with people’s background checks. Young people who are 18 to 20 years old are on welfare, receiving SSI payments, food stamps and other welfare program funds. Those people can buy five to 10 pounds of lobster, and use the welfare money for tattoos, body piercing and cell phones.

State and local government officials should stop any more of a tax burden on the people of Maine.

Let’s get the Democrats out and cut the Legislature in half and fix the massive welfare state.
