Abstract

"Politics + Other Mistakes" piece on Gov. John Baldacci's tendency to overestimate the strength of the Maine economy, pointing out that voters are unlikely to believe these public relations tactics. Baldacci continues to promote Maine as one of the best places in the country to do business. Others, like Charles Colgan, former state economist, predict potentially severe problems over the next decade. A survey conducted in May by Critical Insights showed that 50 percent of Mainers believe the state's fiscal condition is worse than a year ago.
