Reply to comment by 06_tundra_4x4 in Maine voters to choose governor amid economic uncertainty and social upheaval by soulc
Maine just saw a surplus of over $1B and is now significantly better situated than the average state in terms of its cash reserves. Working to secure comparatively larger amounts of federal funding is literally part of Mills's job description.
Oh, and Maine has one of the lowest inflation rates in the nation right now.
That's how it resembles fiscal responsibility.

Who pays for the 1B? The American Taxpayer. Perhaps if the feds and the state hadn’t shut down the economy, they wouldn’t need to pump billions of tax money (that we don’t really even have) into “COVID relief”.

I’m sorry are you actually trying to blame a state governor for federal monetary policy? Do you even understand how the US political system works…?

Were you born last night or did you sustain a concussion? All of these nonsense takes seem to raise those possibilities.
