Three deaths and 50 new coronavirus cases were reported in Maine Thursday afternoon, bringing the state’s death toll to 69 and case count to 1,565, as state lodging restrictions were loosened to allow earlier reservations for vacations this summer, officials said.

Run the state in to the ground! Then Trump can get all your electoral votes in November. We go to Maine 3-4 times a year to visit our daughter. My wife’s brother is a Lifelong Mainer and told us our VA plates wouldn’t be welcome. I told him to “F OFF”! Loser

Total hit piece on the Governor
Well- fed people with money coming in, beg the govt to lock them in their homes to protect them from a virus thats going to infect at least 70% of mankind before we burn through it
No clue as to what happens outside their doors when the economy collapses, until the restaurants and grocery stores stop delivering their food

The governor is bad but the Portland Press Herald is pure liberal trash. However, it’s good to see the gov. get slammed by her “allies.”

My wife’s brother is a Lifelong Mainer and told us our VA plates wouldn’t be welcome.

My wife's family owned a summer home in Maine, and they got along fine with the locals. My father-in-law was having his car serviced and a New Yorker was hassling the station owner. The New Yorker was whining and complaining.

"What would you people do without us? What do you do all winter after we go home?"

"Fumigate."

Let me guess. Gratwick and Nuzzo have both continued to collect paychecks during the lockdown.

The article states, “lockdown measures that have slowed the pandemic in Maine.” This is stated as fact. What evidence do they have that the lockdown had any impact on infection rates? None! It’s all propaganda!

Editorial, not news.

Blows off two important metrics: “positivity rates” and ICU availability.
Yeah, more testing is always better, but no so important as emphasized. Lots of people will be careful ‘reopening’ for a while.

This paper sucks. And no competition. I think every paper in the state is owned by these douches.

To understand this, you just need to look at the Congressional Race in California and what this means to Democrats who all of the sudden hear the sound of people sawing timber in their own states.
