Maine State Employees Association

The Maine State Employees Association criticized the Maine Heritage Policy Center for circulating false information on its new Web site, www.maineopengov.org.

The Web site creates a searchable database of expenditures with state money and public employee salary.

The MSEA prefaces their statement by saying they support openness and transparency in government.

A release stated today:

There were two endorsements in the ME-1 race today.

The Maine State Employees Association endorsed Chellie Pingree (D-North Haven).

Pingree’s opponent, Charlie Summers (R-Scarborough), today announced the endorsement of the Republican Main Street Partnership.

The PAC, Health Coverage for Maine has filed its first PAC report with the Ethics Commission. One thing is clear; the PAC should be renamed to the Don Sussman PAC. Mr. Sussman, a long-time donor to political causes in Maine including CasinosNO, numerous candidates and party committees is in big for the opposition to the people's veto. Mr. Sussman dropped $100,000 dollars into the pool, out of $110,050. The other $10,000 came from the State Employees Association. Perhaps the MSEA is planning on switching all of their employees over to Dirigo Health......HA!
