I understand how this recession has forced every family, business, charitable organization and local government to tackle the same challenges and difficult choices that the legislature is currently confronting.

Below are just a few of the issues that we will face when we return to Augusta in January. Please take a moment to contact me and let me know what you think about these or any other issues.

The governor has proposed the establishment of a Northeast Energy Corridor that would traverse the state from Atlantic Canada. Concern regarding potential impact on renewable energy projects, and Canada’s long-standing opposition to efforts to establish LNG terminals in Washington County, have delayed the project. What are your thoughts regarding this and other energy issues?

Maine currently faces ongoing, serious budget shortfalls that will require action this session. Do you favor raising taxes, eliminating programs, or some combination of the two? If so, do you have any specific suggestions in that regard?

The Maine Legislature has before it a bill that establishes a singlepayer universal access health care system. Do you favor such a proposal?
