The only thing that worries me about you guys up there is that whole part of the country seems to be very, very liberal - I know Vermont is for sure. Correct me if I'm wrong.
It is a paradox. I grew up in Oregon before it went as liberal as it is today. Was shocked at all the freedoms enjoyed by Mainers after knowing Oregon. Lots of private property here, laws not so aggravating.
But the population centers and even quite a few town halls are filled with displaced liberals determined to bring their values into Maine. Yet, our other place is in an area with no zoning whatsoever, pretty much hands off. No gun registration, easy to get concealed carry permits, no knowledge or concern by the State as to what kind of weapons we have.
People are safe in their own homes and criminals are not so likely to burst into a house here thinking they will remain unharmed.
Govt doesn't have much of a hold on many things in Maine, liberal as it is. Most woodland is private, so woods are not subject to the comical rules and meddling applied elsewhere. Very few fires, big fires like out west hard to imagine.
But yeah, we have super liberal politicians, RINO senators, and Massachusetts-type liberals who would love to implant their values.
VERY Liberal. I live here-I know. Real Republicans are few and far between. Nice scenery though........
One of highest taxed States in the Union. No relief in site......
