Re: the caption and story about the City’s heavy equipment sinking in the mud at Deering Oaks Pond (WEN, Sept. 1-12, 2006): Instead of "QUAGMIRE" it could be "YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK." There goes my $4600.

It’s Big Business vs. Big Business
To the Editor:
I just read your recent article "Group Calls on Collins to Save InternetFreedom" (WEN Sept. 1-12, 2006).
You state that "big telephone and cable companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Time Warner are spending millions lobbying Congress to eliminate NetNeutrality".
This is true, but it also true that other big companies like Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft are lobbying Congress in support of Net Neutrality.
So it's not "big business vs. the consumer", but actually "big business inone industry vs. big business in other industry". Despite which side"wins", the consumer is going to lose.
The current "Net Neutrality" proposal sounds like a good thing, but it'smore about protecting content providers like Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft;and less about protecting the consumer.
David Babin, who runs ads supporting TABOR, says “Democrats, your party has been hijacked by self-serving politicians and bloodsucking bureaucrats.”
Mr. Babin, what about the Bush wrecking ball trying to stop all funding for programs for poor, disabled, schools and elderly to fund his war in Iraq that self-destructs every day!
WHAT MAINE NEEDS IS CASINOS TO MAKE MAINE A RICH STATE FOR ALL. CASINOS MAKE MONEY, AND ATTRACT OTHER BUSINESSES THAT MAKE MONEY. WHAT WE DON’T NEED IN MAINE IS TABOR OR PEOPLE LIKE DAVID BABIN CONDEMNING DEMOCRATS!
DEMOCRATS WILL WIN BIG TIME IN NOVEMBER!
You, Mr. Babin and TABOR will be defeated!

TABOR Will Be Defeated!
To the Editor:
TABOR (The Taxpayer Bill of Rights) is not for Maine.
Since TABOR passed in Colorado, that state is 50th in school funding of all the US states! Critical neighborhood programs affecting children, adults, and the disabled are grossly under-funded. Money to non-profits has been cut up to 60%. State funding to the elderly, disabled and poor drastically cut over 60%.
