Other Important Issues

There are a lot of people in Maine who are very important, whose philosophies are pertinent, but who do not fit into the customary pigeonholes. The same is true for many of the issues.

It is for that reason that this virtual "miscellaneous" section exists. These interviews are every bit as important as those which I was able to categorize. This site simply has no tidy box in which to store them.

The first interview is with Millinocket Town Councilor David Cyr, who discussed the CLUP and LURC, the possibility of implementing a county form of government, and how property owners can win back some of their rights.

I also had the chance to talk with John DiCentes about Millinocket School Committee's decision to push through an initiative they have called the "Chinese Initiative," for which they are recruiting 60 high school students in China to attend Stearns High School at what appears to be a monetary loss to the taxpayers of Millinocket.

Retired Maine State Representative Henry Joy spoke with me twice, and Gene Conlogue, of the Maine Woods Coalition, discussed the perils of a North Woods National Park.
