Its just gonna get worse you know. Since all the tax paying jobs are leaving the state, there isn’t enough money to pay for wasteful government. Its gonna be like California or USSR 1990.
Factor in, though, that rich or upper middle class liberals move here from another state where there are high paying jobs when they retire. Where I’m at (Midcoast), there is a lot of water, not a lot of people. Not a lot of jobs, and certainly not a lot of big employers. More self-employed,
small business owners. Chains are disliked around here.
Retired Liberals who made their $ elsewhere who live in big / nice houses don’t mind paying taxes. They like pretty nature, they don’t like traffic (a result of jobs / growth) and they don’t need jobs.
This demographic isn’t all of Maine, but it’s a relevant one.
