I HAVE NEVER WORKED ON A MAJOR ROAD CHANGE OR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT THAT HASN'T HELPED BUSINESS! BE IT TWO LANE OR 4!OR 6 LANES!
WHAT I HAVE SEEN IS POLITICIANS HALF INFORMED WASTE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T SEE THE FORREST'S FOR THE TREES! AND STAND IN THE WAY OF PROGRESS THAT EVENTUALLY WAS BUILT AND PROVED THEM WRONG! ITS LIKE THE FAMILY THAT CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CHILD BUT SURVIVED JUST FINE WHEN IT CAME!
WE CAN'T AFFORD IT AND WE CAN'T MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT IT! THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH STANDING STILL IS THE REST OF THE WORLD MOVES ON WITHOUT YOU!
THINK ABOUT THAT! WE WENT FROM A STATE THAT HAD THE QUEEN CITY OF LUMBER EXPORTS,THE STANLEY STEAMER. THE LOMBARD HAULER,EAR MUFFS ETC. THE CAN DO
INVENTORS AND DOERS TO THE NEGATIVE YA CAN'T GET THAR FROM HEAAAR!
WE NEED OUR CANADIAN BROTHERS, WE NEED ALL OUR NEIGHBORS TO SAVE THE NORTHEAST! AS OUR FORREST PRODUCTS,POTATO MARKETS ETC. CHANGE WE NEED TO CHANGE WITH THEM-NOT FIGHT CHANGE AS SEEMS TO BE THE REASON WE ARE IN THE MESS WE HAVE TODAY! LOOK AT THE BOTTLED WATER INDUSTRY! 50 YEARS Ago it didn't exist like it does today!70 years ago their was no 4 lanes highways in Maine! mass rte 128 had a3rd lane (called a suicide lane by many) -change is American! -negativity breeds poverty! change breeds advancement and a viable economy!
