I commend Congressmen Mike Michaud and Tom Allen today for introducing the Trade Reform, Accountability, Development and Employment (TRADE) Act.Fixing broken trade policy is a vital step in turning around our failing economy. Reps. Michaud and Allen have once again demonstrated their leadership by promoting the protection of good jobs in Maine and across the country, and promoting workers’ rights around the world.
"It's unfortunate that a celebration of the Democratic Party's presidential nominee was marked by this situation. We take such threatening messages very seriously and I'm glad that a suspect has been arrested."
-- Gov. John Baldacci on the arrest of a Brunswick man who sent a threatening email to Baldacci and at least one delegate from the Maine Democratic Party.
