#mepolitics It's time to get rid of Bruce Poliquin and put someone in that seat who will work for the best interests of all Mainers. cc @TiffanyBondhttps://twitter.com/SteveCollinsSJ/status/959781357781241857 …

I don't have an answer for you because the answer is "it depends". It depends on how we structure our corporate code. It depends on the overall budget. It depends on what makes the most sense on the priorities in any given year.
Sending legislators that deal in asbolutes on every single issue is a bad way to pick representatives because it forcloses negotiations and the possibility of novel solutions. For example, data might say a good tax scheme might include UBI, which would thoroughly alter the budget

Throwing out a random number for those over $500k doesn't help you. It's not a practical or realistic way to gauge how successful legislation will be. My priority is an equitable budget, but absent a working budget document I can't tell you the answer with any efficacy.

If I was a CD-02 voter it'd help me get an idea re: the relative burdens you think different income groups oughta have to fund govt. That's fundamental. I like candidates who respect voters enough to be candid on basic issues. When they don't it makes me suspicious.

That's a straw man. Ted Kennedy was one of the most productive legislators in US history and he had a strong point of view on the issues. No contradiction btwn knowing what you believe/being candid with voters & forging compromises.

I have strong views on issues. I am open to a wide range of achieving those views. I give *very* specific answers and opinions when I am reading line by line a bill text.
