1) Reduce Spending! [by Anonymous Citizen on March 5, 2008]
The Maine Legislature has followed the trend of our Nation. Spend! Spend! Spend! Even if you don't have the money. It's the American way -- credit card debt, mortgages ending in foreclosure -- where does it end? The Legislature has to tighten their belt. As my father preached to me -- if you can't afford it, do without! I followed his advise and am debt-free. The Legislature should do the same!! We can't afford their un-audited spending and the higher taxes that follow.

2) Driver's License for Illegals [by Anonymous Citizen on February 27, 2008]
I find it ironic that a person who is not a citizen can obtain a driver's license without difficulty but a person who was born and raised in Maine and just happens to be over the age of 62 does not have the same privileges. Once a person has a driver's license in this state, it is as good as a Visa or Master Card with unlimited use.
