By locking down the state and severely restricting the civil liberties of Mainers, the burden is on Gov. Janet Mills and local officials to prove a compelling state interest for the significant burden this is placing on families, churches, hospitals, medical offices and businesses.
Maine would not be nearly as healthy if it were not for Governor Mills’ thoughtful foresightedness and focused leadership. Our former narrow-minded, short-sighted, partisan governor would have placed Mainers and our great neighbors in NH in grave danger of a second, more devastating second wave.during this pandemic. Just compare the numbers of cases and deaths in the United States with those in Europe and elsewhere to realize the effects of poor leadership and empathy in our government.
The restrictions are placed for the health and safety of all. Opening up the economy needs to happen by following the CDC guidelines unless you want to have a resurgence. Numbers are coming down is great and it's because of the actions taken that you find objectionable. The virus is not a hoax and is not going away no matter how much we want it to. What good are your constitutional rights if you're dead?
