Gubernatorial candidate

AMG Podcasts: ME Gubernatorial Candidate Beverly Cooper-Pete
Interview by Michelle Anderson, North of Bangor

Last week I had lunch with gubernatorial write-in candidate Beverly Cooper-Pete and her sister at the Olive Garden in Augusta. After lunch and over coffee, we had this conversation.

On Thursday, July 29, we travelled south to Waterville, where I had the opportunity to chat with Kevin Scott, one of the independent candidates for Governor.

When asked about what he thinks the most important things that face Maine in the next term, Kevin said:

On Friday, April 16, I had coffee with Senator Peter Mills, GOP gubernatorial candidate, at the Country Diner in East Millinocket. This is the first half of that interview.

"I think that in Human Services and in Corrections, our whole system tends to reward state employees for expanding their duties and their jobs. The more people you bring into social services and welfare, the more people who are dependent on state services, the more important your job is because you've got more people to take care of. "
