03-28-18 Terry Hayes
Ray is joined by Terry Hayes an Independent, Clean Elections Candidate for Governor. Terry is committed to running a “clean campaign” funded by the people, not special interests. She was a state legislator and is now the State of Maine Treasurer. She thinks that people should start to listen more to one other. She has also represented Buckfield on the MSAD #39 school board. Her philosophy was “If it isn’t good enough for my kid, it isn’t good enough for your kid.” Both sides have to be heard in order to make an accurate decision. We need to find ways to bring and keep our youth back to Maine. The last question was about paying Maine’s hospital bills.
