John Smith of Portland, ME This is what's wrong with Mike Michaud. How's this $ going to bring jobs to Millinocket? Skills assessments? What a joke! Mainers need to wake up and stop electing pol's who just throw some $ at the umemployed to look good. Wake up folks these jobs aren't coming back. It's time to stop this victim syndrome in Maine. I know its easy to say but regardless of one's roots you have to go where the good jobs are, even if that means moving out of State. I've considered that myself. Our Governor has no idea how to bring jobs here and our representation is split down the middle. Good luck with those skills assessments courtesy of Mike Michaud, wanna bet if those do lead to any jobs they'll be working twice as long for half as much? Wake up.report abuse

PoMaina TaxedOut of Homeless, ME This is total crap. How about emergency funds for all laid off workers in Maine. This is unfair and discriminatory against all other laid off workers across the state. There is no reason why these Slugs are receiving special treatment from the government with Our Tax Dollars. Blatant Discrimination.report abuse
