Personally, I'd rather see tax incentives for large companies to relocate to Maine. Boeing quit Seattle, why couldn't it come to Maine? If the Maine legislature makes it attractive for businesses to come here, everything else follows from that.

Where are you from, and why are you in here bad mouthing Mainers who care?

Huh? Sorry, that just doesn't scan. When have I bad mouthed anyone? Last time I looked, disagreeing with a person's viewpoint was not badmouthing them. Because I don't like the measure, doesn't mean I don't "care" -- or I'm bad-mouthing those that do. That's a bit off the wall. Good Lord, is that what debate has come to these days-- I disagree with you, so I hurt your feelings, so I'm "bad mouthing" you? Oh, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!

Because you quote me suggesting that Maine could do more to bring industry here, INSTEAD of preferrential treatment to one ethnic group for a casino, you imply that you don't want Maine to encourage industry to come here? I would have thought having a nice aerospace giant here would be a good thing. (There's no gambling in it, just high-tech stuff). That idea obviously pissed you off enough, I'll say no more about it.

I see no logic in this current gambling measure. I'm not against gambling per se - if that's what people want, but I want it to be fair to the state -- as I've asked before - what's wrong with a state issued gambling license-- why give preferrential treatment to one ethnic group over another? You don't answer that - so that suggests that you do want preferrential treatment for one ethnic group over another.

I'm in Maine, and I'll be voting NO.
