Part 1: Ray and Tim Wilson are joined by Gordon Draper in studio. The discussion in this segment starts with the migration of our youth. This was talked about in a Gov. Joshua Chamberlain speech back in the 1800s. We are still having the same discussion today. Cell phone and other technology infrastructure has to improve in order to keep our youth and draw other types of industry into our state. Tony Bessey calls in and expresses his opinion on the reason why there is no growth. They discuss about some of the different ideas of making Maine great again. Specialty schools are just an idea. We have some really smart people in Maine, we need to not be afraid of taping into some of this great knowledge.
Part 2: The subject continues on the youth and infrastructure. We have a frequent caller that rubs Tim the wrong way and Tim gets riled up and let him have it.

03-09-18 A Potpourri Segment
Part 1: Tim Wilson joins Ray and Debi this morning. They talk about so many things in this segment it was hard to keep up. A caller started the discussion on voting with a question on what is going in Central Maine. Somehow they end up talking immigration.
Part 2: Lewiston Mayor Shane Bouchard sent a letter to all of the new voters. Bouchard says the letter “describes the expectations of a voter following registration, was purely “informational,” was meant to clear up post-election confusion he saw on social media about state law. Tim talks about the voter fraud in Maine.
