Looks like #JanetMills wants to stay in power as Senator Mills. She's been changing her tune on #IndigenousSovereignty and now this?

#Maine Governor backs #MillionaireTax, flipping from prior stance

By Greg Ryan Bloomberg,Updated April 2, 2026

"Maine Governor Janet Mills now supports increasing taxes on the state’s richest residents, reversing her past opposition after lagging in recent polls for a key Democratic Senate primary.

"Mills on Thursday endorsed a millionaire tax included in a budget proposal that passed a committee for the Democrat-controlled legislature. She vetoed a similar increase in 2024 and maintained that such a measure was short-sighted in an interview just a few weeks ago.

"Mills’ flip-flop comes as the 78-year-old trails political newcomer #GrahamPlatner in their contest to be the Democratic nominee to take on Republican #UselessSusanCollins in November. Platner, a 41-year-old oyster farmer, has called for higher taxes on the rich."

Rooster Crowing Laws in Maine: What State and Local Rules Actually Say

The rules that govern crowing in Maine are scattered across local ordinances, noise codes, and zoning laws that vary dramatically from one municipality to the next. Whether you keep a rooster and want to stay on the right side of the law, or you live next to one and wonder what your options are, understanding how Maine's patchwork of […]

@DemocracyMattersALot Susan Collins is a liar. In 1996, she pledged she would only be a two-term Senator even if the law didn't change and allowed her to do more.

@ObbieZ Ummmm... About that... PFAS and other #ForeverChemicals are everywhere, including in some organic food. Unfortunately...

"The highest-profile case involving contamination of an #OrganicFarm has been at #SongbirdFarm in #Maine, where the two owners, upon learning about the widespread contamination, voluntarily pulled their vegetable and grain products from retailers. It wasn’t just their soil and spinach that tested positive. Their water levels of #PFAS were 400 times higher than Maine’s state guideline.

"Not surprisingly, the entire farming community in Maine is on edge, as this was anything but an isolated case."
