LePage State of Maine Office of the Governor 1 State House Station Augusta, Maine 04333-0001 RE: State of Maine Energy Assurance and Emergency Management Plan Dear Governor LePage: The Governor’s Office of Energy Independence and Security (OEIS) is responsible for developing and revising the State of Maine Energy Assurance and Emergency Management Plan. The purpose of the Energy Assurance Plan is to provide the Governor, the Legislature, the Executive Departments, the energy industry and the general public with a clear, concise and comprehensive blueprint and strategy to address a potential or actual energy emergency caused by a supply disruption, a rapid and unsustainable increase in energy prices or other energy emergency situation. The OEIS created Maine’s first energy emergency plan in 2008 in response to Maine citizens’ increasing vulnerability to rapid price escalations, fossil fuel supply curtailments and infrastructure disruptions. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provided states with an opportunity to revise the plan to build greater capacity and resiliency for energy assurance and emergency planning and response. The State of Maine Energy Assurance and Emergency Management Plan is designed to be a living document that will be presented to the U.S.

  • Why Only the Rich Run for Office
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. 1 GOVERNMENT BY THE PRIVILEGED In 2014, something historically unprecedented almost happened in the state of Maine. Representative Mike Michaud— who had been a factory worker when he was first elected to public office—announce d that he was retiring from the House of Representatives to run for governor. Soon after, a state senator named Troy Jackson launched a campaign to fill Michaud’s House seat. Jackson seemed like a natural choice: like Michaud, he was a Democrat, he had served in the state legislature, and he was endorsed by many of the state’s major progressive organizations. Jackson was even a blue-collar worker: when the state legislature wasn’t in session, he worked full- time as a logger upstate. And that’s what would have made the election historic. If Jackson had won, he would have become the first blue-collar worker in American his- tory to succeed another former blue- collar worker in the same congres- sional seat. From 1789 to the present day, seats in the House of Represen- tatives have changed hands more than fourteen thousand times. Former lawyers have taken over for other former lawyers. Former business owners have succeeded other former business owners. But two former blue-collar workers have never served in the same U.S. House seat back- to-bac k. Despite Troy Jackson’s best efforts, however, that record still stood after the 2014 election.
