Yesterday, the Lewiston Sun Journal endorsed TABOR. We’re grateful and appreciate the support from a respected Maine broadsheet. The key graf for us is the conclusion:
Blame the economic downturn for this. But also blame the lack of foresight by policymakers in restraining spending during boom times. For years, the message has been clearly sent to the State House that what’s coming out is not commensurate with what’s going in. It’s too much.
The recession is evidence that you reap what you sow.
No more messages. No more chances. At some point, endorsing the same process that has failed to garner results so far is fruitless. That’s why we are favoring TABOR. It is time to do things differently in Maine.
Contrary to our opponents’ lies, TABOR is nothing to fear and instead promises a new beginning for the people of Maine.

I’m glad TABOR went down. Tax and budget questions are too complicated to be decided by mob rule.
