80% of all Mainers use oil to heat their homes. ​Maine uses 1/5 of it's sustainable forest production for it's industry. Heating with wood and pellets can reduce an oil users costs by up to 50%.

By incentivizing Mainers to heat with wood, we can encourage Mainers to cost heating costs and spend money that wll create local jobs.

Public Private Partnerships

Public-private partnerships can be used to finance, build and operate projects such as aquaculture farms, hydrodams, and new ways to exploit Maines natural resources. The goal of these partnerships will be to create self-sustaining businesses that pay well in rural parts of the state, and are impossible to offshore overseas.

State of Maine Bank

Revenue from taxes goes into big mega banks. These are the same banks that defrauded millions of people of their homes and whose speculative frenzy ruined the economy. It's time the state of Maine establish a state run bank, to protect the state from rampant banking speculation to provide financing for Maine based entreprenuers.

Worker's Rights

I do not want people, who work in food service to prepare my food sick! Do you? Many workers are forced to go to work ill or face termination. It's time to protect workers and allow them to take sick days without retaliation.

I've worked with Nurses that were pressured to work up to 21 hours due to a staff shortage. How is this safe and ok? No worker should be forced to work more than 12 hours in a day ever. It's time to set daily hourly limits.

Workers should have the right to record disciplinary meetings or have a witness to protect them from being falsely accused.^[2][3]
