Part 1: Pat Callaghan of NewsCenter Maine joins Ray this morning. Ray and Pat reminisce about the Bush family and some of the antics that the Former First Lady Barbara Bush would pull. She was such a natural treasure.

Part 1: Ray reads a quote from Cathy Breen out of the Portland Press Herald. She is apparently willing to not hold the votes and either table or extend the session. She doesn’t want to do the people’s will. Ray also talks about Jeff Timberlake and how he wants the votes. He wants to get the job done, not just wasting time. It is a really poorly run Chamber. The Speaker should be held accountable. People need to let them know that you are watching what is happening in Augusta. Hold a role call vote and pubic hearings.
Part 2: Ray wants to know if you have called the office of the Maine Speaker of the House. They just put together the largest budget together, but they still didn’t get the job done. They don’t start on time and there is no accountability because they don’t hold role call votes. They have tabled the Female Genitalia Mutilation Bill LD 745.
