Rosa Scarcelli Jobs Proposal

I've been thinking for over a week of how I was going to summarize her approach. It is extensive, detailed, and to the point. So lacking any way of actually breaking it down I will recommend you take a read of it yourself when you have time:

However there is a positive thing to report in regards to Rosa Scarcelli: Her connection to voters. She wants your ideas and gladly wants you to let her know what they are:

She has a drawback though: her reliance on the federal government. She has good statements in her plan for jobs but then basically throws those out the window if you read her news section. She wants TARP money (the bailout for the banks) to go for job creation in Maine even though it is clearly written in the bill that created TARP that those funds are to be placed directly to debt reduction. She also says Baldacci is making the best of a bad situation with the recent budget cuts. It is partially because of Baldacci that the state has had yearly budget crisis after budget crisis. Not only that but she is glad to promote an endorsement of her campaign by a PAC. No politician should ever brag about such an endorsement as a special interest rarely has the full circle best interest of the people at mind.

I blog, you think, we agree. Have a good day.
