***suggests (4) the adoption of Austrian Economics, ***
I saw that term in earlier postings on Monday and believe it is a typo by someone in Maine or the media.
It probably should read as “austerian” economics, which would equate to cutting the spending except for things absolutely necessary; being frugal with the taxpayers’ dollars.
I hope you were joking.
No, it’s Austrian Economics
