We recognize the constitution just fine in Maine, regardless of who is driving the ship. We have right to work laws, constitutional carry and legal weed, and more trees than people. If you work a job subject to public health mandates, it's because you want to. I don't believe in mandates, but I also don't have sympathy for parasitic government workers or healthcare workers who don't seek work that accommodates their beliefs. In a rural state like ours, there are plenty of options for work outside the system for those who are resourceful.
In America, we are free to accept whatever employment offers we want, and are equally free to accept whatever consequences come from not fully understanding the provisions of those offers. This is a fundamental premise of the free market.
The people did their own thing for so long they thought that's the way it was and would always be. And... stopped paying attention to what was going on in Augusta. Then there's the whole Lewiston Somali debacle.
That describes the PNW as well. Most of us are independent and just want to be left alone (think Oregon Trail pioneers), but we figured we would always have our secret slice of paradise out here and didn't pay enough attention to the political subterfuge.
If only Maine would recognize the actual Constitution.
Governor just got her booster, got a hunch the best is yet to come.
