Too bad MCC's K9 "commander" (if you could ever really call him that) is such an idiot, he never had a dog himself (too afraid of them for sure) and now he is without what was once a very fine K9 team because of his own personal agenda. Very sad for the community as that team was a great asset. Especially in the days of rampant drug use. Now the ... Read Moreprison has a huge drug problem again and there are two escapes from Bolduc. Inmates know they once again have a better advantage in some ways. The public pays the price for the inadaquacies of some at the top. Thanks for your help in this matter Marty M.

Can you believe we still have to explain that. Damn people are so ignorant. I put my pants on the way any man does. I love just like any man does, it just happens to be my same sex. What is the big deal? God put us here to love one another. And I hate when people bring the Bible in to this. Does anyone know how much of the Bible we do not practice? A lot of it.

Well well, I wonder if they will finally tell the public the true story about Warden Merrill now! Not likely I'm sure but one can hope! lol! There is more corruption at the top than people know. More cover ups than just this story. MDOC even committs many injustices against thier own!!! Some day, some day the truth will be told about those at the top, not just in Warren but at MAINE CORRECTIONAL!!! Alot goes on there and alot of it is committed by the people at the top. Bravo to the Pheonix!

Obviously none of you have had a medical emergency and needed help. Losing your coverage while battling melanoma. Imagine. People that have money never seem to worry about the little guy. What is the right thing to do........do we ever think of that. I support Chellie Pingree as many other people do. I wonder what Maine would be like if the ... Read MoreConservatives won every time. The young people are already leaving Maine as fast as they can get out. I don't blame them. I am stuck here because of work related issues. I hate it here. I am sure you would say then get out! I would love too. I come from the South. I have never met so many rude and obnoxious people in my life that are as closed minded and set in their ways. These people will make Maine a ghost town one day. Your state is always having budget issues as it is. I can see why medical marijuana passed in this state. You have to be stoned to stand it up here, and with my experience most everyone does.

We are pushing for a citizens referendum to strike the word marriage from the Maine State Code, and replace it with the word "civil union." Civil union will be defined as being between any two adults...

EVERYONE should fight for EVERYONE'S freedom. It is the RIGHT thing to do. Some of us want things a particular way and forget to ask ourselves..........is this the right thing to do? Taking anyone's freedom away is wrong, and you shouldn't ignore it because it doesn't particularly pertain to you. Or fight against it because you don't particularly agree with it. Taking anyone's freedom away is never right. We are ALL Americans.
