Patriots Win Super Bowl

After a perfect fourth quarter drive and an end-zone interception in the final seconds of the game, the New England Patriots vanquished the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl.  With only seconds left, rookie Malcolm Butler intercepted a potentially game winning touchdown pass to ensure the Patriots victory.  Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was named MVP for the third time in his career.  Last night’s win make Brady one of a select few who have won four Super Bowl rings as starting quarterback.

More Snow

In case you haven’t looked outside today, don’t be surprised to find snow.  Even after last weeks massive snowstorm, Maine continues to receive more snow.  Some areas of the sate could receive up to a foot of snow, so be careful on the roads today.  Still, what’s bad for my morning commute can be good for other Mainers.

LePage Budget Garners National Attention

Governor LePage’s was called the most ambitious tax reform plan in the nation, according to a story in Forbes.  Read here to see what Travis Brown (author of How Money Walks) thinks of the governor’s plan.  “Within the next few years, the Governor LePage’s ideas could result in a major net win for the entire state,” writes Brown, “Maine voters deserve to see the positive job changes for which Governor LePage campaigned.”
