We have dealt with the snake oil salesman before, let me jog your memory it was over the recreational center, now granted the build and use might be different but the verbal fleecing of the taxpayer is identical.

Judging from the illustration published in Wednesday’s Aroostook Republican, the proposed new Caribou school that could cost $47 million or more will look like a third rate motel with a huge outhouse in the middle.

When I read the Oct. 22 Bangor Daily News article about the proposed Maine Center for Graduate Professional Studies, I got angry. This article discussed the University of Maine System (UMS) plan to “unite graduate programs for aspiring businesspeople, lawyers and public administrators under one roof” — in Portland. I got angry about this: because Maine citizens were only hearing about the plan when it was virtually a done deal — with the Board of Trustees to vote on it the very next day and the first phase of the project scheduled to begin in January 2017; because northern Maine was, once again, losing out to the more moneyed and influential south; and because the name of the proposed Center seemed to leave the door open for a continuation of the youth, money, and brain drain from the second district to the first.
I believe I have a love/hate relationship with Wal-Mart. I love the selection of products, but I am not so crazy about the long checkout lines or the mini, multiple traffic jams and occasional fender bumpers in the parking lot. I love seeing friends and acquaintances and I am always interested in making new, abbreviated friendships while looking for treasures.
