Maine Education Association: TABOR Like a “Slasher Film”

It’s nice to know what TABOR opponents really think. Mark Gray and the Maine Education Association were a little too candid in a downloadable handout comparing TABOR to a “horror movie” and a “slasher film” while predicting that the sky would fall if TABOR passes.

Apparently, the MEA thought better of Mr. Gray’s hysterical predictions, because they recently dropped the handout from the MEA website.

However, we can see that other union groups still link to the handout. If you’d like to take a look, go here. For a look at the link, go here.

I’ve noticed that the Maine Education Association generally not archive its website material. Whatever’s in their current newsletter is what’s on the website. The “slasher” article may have been earlier this year?

What a biased blurb. If you really cared about children and their education then you would understand what Tabor really is about. And it passed….

I’m afraid you lost me. TABOR didn’t pass and it had nothing to do with local ed spending (which is approved locally and would not have been covered by the proposed statute). As to bias, it was the MEA that published moronic fliers about “slasher films” and compared the Maine Heritage Policy Center to a plague of mosquitoes. The blog post is a response to the MEA’s inanity. Yet, I’m the biased one, in your view. Question: do you find orderly thinking difficult?
