Now sitting in a mock legislative session in the actual #Maine house. Thank you #Leadership Maine.
Pennoyer: Personnel costs (including fringe and collective bargaining agreements) are actually only 15% of the #Maine budget. Other: 85%.
Pennoyer: Next week in #Maine legislature will be tough: second year of biennial budget must be in balance. Hard when revenues are down.
Grant Pennoyer, director of #Maine's Office of Fiscal and Program Review, is providing overview of the budget process. http://www.maine.gov/legis...
Rector: Right now, every single bill in #Maine gets a hearing, even those that have no viability. We need a different triage process.
Rector: Don't always agree with #Maine #governor. Extremes inform, but the real action is in the middle, through consensus.
Rector: Much of what you read about politics is theater, it sells newspapers. More important: I represent the values of my district.
Rector: The legislature is a great place to be a sponge. A great deal of learning and understanding all the time. #lifelonglearning #maine
Rector: #Maine's major 2011 transition was a success due to legislators' respect, wisdom, and caring for Maine people and the process.
Rector: Worth remembering that last year #Maine underwent a significant transition of power, peacefully. A model to the rest of the world.
Rector: #Maine Leadership decided to combine Labor and Business committees, and it's a huge portfolio, so there's a huge learning curve.
Rector: Serving in the legislature, you need to learn a lot about many things, and be more deeply knowledgeable about a handful of them.
