So I have been talking about a bill that I have written, and it is written and complete.
I wrote this next statement years ago, with a few small changes, explaining it, and the bill would bring fair representation back to rural Maine, and so much more.
“Want to Understand How to Fix Maine? We need to Restore Honor and Respect to our Maine State Senate, and in doing so, the entire governing body of our Legislature if anyone really wants to help get Maine back on track. While researching our state governing body for many years, I have found the solution to accomplish just that. Our Maine Senate, back in the formation of the State of Maine in 1820, we should have had 2 state senators for each County, not senate districts like we have today, and what this has lead to over the years, with the gradual changing of occupations of employment and business opportunities, is differing cultures from south to north in our state. Now, the heavily populated areas of the southern part of our state actually control the northern part of our state. We need to change to 2 state senators per County to fix the majority rule over the minority, simply stated. The US Congress is set up this way for the exact same reason, to protect the smaller states from the bigger, populated states. Any politician who opposes this Maine Constitutional change is revealing their intentions, to not do what is best for Maine, and only protecting the chaos in Augusta, and continuing it, and also to protect themselves, their rule over us, and their job in politics. If we do change our senate to what I propose, it would make a divided government, meaning, no more one party rule, bring fair representation back to Augusta for rural Maine, and more importantly, bring civility and bi-partisanship back to Maine politics, and better bills and laws. Our Maine Senate is supposed to be a deliberate body, professionally researching bills, and not support emotional flawed legislation. There would be no more 3000 bills proposed in Augusta, most passed recklessly through the Legislature. Ultimately, if this proposed amendment is passed by Augusta, and voted in by the Citizens of Maine, it would bring fairness, equality, opportunity and prosperity back to Maine people.”
