Part 1: Ray reads a little bit of an announcement from Alexander Willette. He is resigning as Maine’s Republican National Committeeman because he will be joining the Trump Administration as the Deputy Political Director for Outreach at the White House. He goes on to announce his support for Josh Tardy as his replacement on the committee. Congratulations to both of them. Ray also praises Committeewoman Ellie Espling and GOP Chair Demi Kouzounas for all of their hard work.
Part 2:  Ray talks about the Maine Budget and the Medicaid expansion. He states where a lot of the financial information comes from, Kaiser Family Foundation. There is going to be a big cost to the Maine people (bigger than what is being reported). The fact is: Medicaid is a form of insurance. The taxpayers will now be paying for insurance for able-minded, able-bodied people that will not have to work to be able to get benefits. So now it is a hand-out, not a hand-up. Ray does a rundown on some of the cockamamie ideas that is coming out of Augusta.
Part 3:  Ray talks about the some more of the Augusta “ideas” and budget. He talks about it is now time to call and/or email your representatives in Washington and Augusta. Your voice counts and should be heard, in a respectful way. Ray takes a call out of Bath and she is planning on attending the protest on April 15th in Augusta. She doesn’t understand the people moving here because they don’t like where they came from and try to change it to where they came from as soon as they get here. The caller and Ray also talk about Safe Injection sites.
Part 4:  Ray reminds his audience about the segment from Wednesday about Eastpoint Christian Church.
