A Spending Crisis of Her Own Doing

AUGUSTA, ME-- Maine Republican Party Chair, Dr. Demi Kouzounas, released
the following statement regarding Janet Mills' proposal to continue her
out-of-control spending:

"Much like we've seen from the Maine Democrats for quite some time,
Janet Mills put forth a long list of ideas with no ways to realistically
pay for them," said Chair Dr. Demi Kouzounas. "Since she took office,
Republicans have been sounding the alarm bell that Janet Mills' spending
problems are not sustainable, and now we are seeing the poor decisions
of the last two years create a dangerous scenario for Maine."

"Because of her lack of foresight and strategic planning, Janet Mills
burned through every taxpayer dollar she could find, including depleting
the budget surplus built by Governor LePage. Instead of saving, Janet
Mills burned your money on pet projects such as putting solar panels on
the Governors mansion and building electric car charging stations for
out-of-staters. Now, when Maine needs the money most to help our
struggling state in the midst of pandemic, we can not assist our
citizens without driving the state into a dangerous debt. Every time you
hear Janet Mills attempt to spin her need for more money, remember this
is a crisis of her own doing."
