What is one new policy that the state should embrace to make housing easier to build and afford?
Logically & in modern accommodating fashion, repurpose places like dying shopping centers for building housing. Design & implement a “Section 8” style of paying rent AND develop plans for potential ownership for poor and wealthy the same.
If occupants desire, transition from paying rent to owning same domiciles becomes a balance for equality.
Transmission lines, solar incentives and offshore wind development have been controversial over the past several years. What steps should Maine take to meet growing demand for electricity?
In this question, you already mentioned the goal of such steps. Challege the control & power of present “electric companies” and force them to see the light – especially making and using solar power. Any electric transmission lines must be underground and never again ruin our forests, flora, or wildlife habitat or threaten our lives with resulting “dangerous downed poles”
Should the state make changes to its tax laws? If so, outline your priorities.
Never tax low income individual social security recipients. Do not tax mentally challenged or physically disabled employed workers who are already endure many disadvantages.
Tax the life out of companies harmful to the health of all species.
We are closing in on the one-year anniversary of the Lewiston mass shooting. Are further legislative responses required around guns, mental health, supporting victims and families or other policy areas?
This overwhelming tragedy must become reason to fund to the max MAINE DISABILITY RIGHTS ORGANIZATION, especially the hard of hearing and DEAF division.
Describe a unique attribute or area of focus that you will bring to the Legislature.
Desperate need for more Animal Welfare & Protection laws. As a lifelong vegan & lover of all species, I know the future is best when good human health prevails and all creatures are left alone to live naturally without abuse, use, or being eaten.
I am a born native of southern Maine and NH seacoast by paternal heritage dating back to early 1600’s.! Raised here I’ve volunteered in 3rd world countries and being poor myself, I’m more aware of preservation of Kittery’s culture & environment is essential for humanity.
Prosperity Via Peace & Preservation along with protecting the natural resources that power Maine’s waterfronts and tourism economies is imperative to evolve into true “civilization”. Broadly – then comes gentle industrious Forever Era of “No Wars”.
