Clearly I'm biased toward Peter Mills. I honestly believe he's the best choice to be Governor of Maine.
And events like tonight serve to convince me even more.
We had a wonderful but long day in North Yarmouth. Those kind folks held a delicious bean supper and gubernatorial debate. Peter is so good at explaining his plans and the crowd responded well.
When we got in the truck for the drive home, I was ready for a nap. But I was driving so staying awake was imperative.
But Peter could've slept. He'd been in Aroostock County the night before getting home very early this morning. He'd been on stage for hours.
But he didn't. Instead, he whipped out his laptop and energetically set to work on legislation. One of our senators, Libby Mitchell, has an awful paid sick leave bill that will be voted on in committee on Monday. Peter's leading the opposition. So rather than nap, he explored the Maine statutes to show how this bill isn't even needed.
Amazing. I know he's been repeatedly effective at stopping the State from saddling our kids with hundreds of millions of dollars of debt. Now I see the hard work and long hours it takes to be effective.
As for me, I'm home now and I'm going to bed.
