Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird once said:
“A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.”
Here at Maine First Project, we talk a lot about fighting.
But sometimes the forest can get lost through the trees.
So today, I wanted to remind you what we’re fighting for.
And I also want your feedback. Let me know what you think of the Maine First Agenda.
