It’s crunch time at the Coliseum on the Kennebec, as the mad rush toward adjournment begins to pick up steam.
The final weeks of a legislative session are always ripe with opportunities for mischief, and this session is no different.
Thanks to Maine patriots like you speaking up, some of the worst bills have been derailed en route to enactment. Today, I’m asking again for your help to make sure the Left’s hideous Slums-to-Suburbs housing bills meet the same fate.
The Labor and Housing committee has scheduled a work session for 10:00 o’clock Wednesday morning, March 16th, on LDs 2003 and 463, and another work session on Friday, March 18th, to consider LD 1673.
These bills have one objective: to legislate single-family residential neighborhoods out of existence so that swampy “non-profit” developers can build stack-and-pack Section 8 housing projects in rural and suburban Maine.
How else will we house all the impoverished foreigners who continue to cross the wide-open southern border and get on buses headed for Maine?
Listed below are the Democrat chairs of the Labor and Housing committee. We have good reason to believe that the Republican members of the committee are united in their opposition to the Slums-to-Suburbs bills. But the Rs are outnumbered 8 to 5 by the Ds on Labor and Housing.
Let the Democrats know that you expect them to vote Ought Not to Pass (ONTP) on LDs 2003, 463, and 1673:
Sen. Matthea Daughtry of Brunswick (Senate chair)
matthea@mattheadaughtry.com
(207) 370-9871
Rep. Mike Sylvester of Portland (House chair)

And as always, contact your own Representative and Senator. You can find their contact info right here. Let them know you will remember in November.
Let’s cut right to the chase, Larry.
Inviting thousands of illegal immigrants from all over the world to settle in Maine is the root cause of our housing crisis. Portland’s worldwide reputation as a “sanctuary city” where violent criminal aliens are protected from deportation has turned that city into a magnet for illegals.
And now Portland’s problem is a problem for everyone in Maine.
Portland’s former mayor Ethan Strimling actually bragged about his Foreigners First welcome mat three years ago, at the beginning of the foreign invasion:
Today, at least one thousand border-crashers who arrived in Portland over the past eight months are being housed in a dozen hotels across York and Cumberland Counties. When tourist season arrives, all these “new Mainers” will need a place to go.
Obviously, even if ALL the swampy housing bills pass, it won’t be soon enough to provide subsidized housing to the illegal immigrants who are already here — not to mention those who are on their way.
Tell these legislators they are welcome to personally provide food, clothing, housing, and medical care to the non-citizen newcomers. And Janet Mills is likewise welcome to open up her home in Farmington to house people who entered the country illegally.

Thanks in advance for leaning on your legislators to oppose the Foreigners First agenda at the Statehouse.
And buckle up, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride between now and adjournment!
Sincerely,
Hon. Lawrence Lockman
