Abstract
"This Just In" piece on "The Government 'Gravy Train'," a new report by the conservative Maine Heritage Policy Center. The report suggests that if the "disturbingly" high compensation paid to 87,500 full- and part-time state and local government employees in Maine were lowered to the average level that private companies pay nationally, taxpayers could save up to $392 million. Jason Fortin, one of the report's authors, comments on salaries for Maine teachers, and the failed model of unionization.
