Restoring Economic Promise to East Millinocket

The Maine Wire’s investigation into illegal Chinese marijuana grows took an unexpected twist the other day, when editor-in-chief Steve Robinson stumbled across former Congressman Mike Michaud.

Michaud was a twelve year, six term representative from Maine’s Second Congressional District, a position now occupied by Jared Golden.

While Michaud did not know much about the illegal Chinese marijuana grows in the area, he did speak with the Maine Wire about East Millinocket’s efforts to revitalize the old paper mill, a project that will hopefully restore economic opportunity and promise to the area.

Watch our interview with Congressman Michaud below!

More taxpayer money ($30 million) to provide infrastructure for the climate change agenda pushers. Biofuel and solar panels won’t power an industrial nation. This is all part of the downsizing of America, funded by you and me.
And the people who will fill those new jobs will be immigrants and will live in the new public housing projects being built in E. Mill with taxpayer money by Penquis.
Americans are being betrayed by its politicians and even reporters from Maine Wire are too blind to see it and act obsequious in their interviews with them. It’s disgusting.

Thank you Andy. You stated it perfectly. It really is disgusting. They did it in Brunswick, they’ll do it in Millinocket. Maine Wire would be wise to expose it now.

Open the gates and bring the New Mainers (asylum seekers) in. The state is far too whyte and we will replace every single one of you. Mainers have enjoyed their comfy privileged lives for far too long off of the backs of those they have oppressed. Through mass immigration we will take over vulnerable locations and create a leftist strongholds that cannot be taken back.

Watcha going to do ’bout it? Absolutely nuttin. Why? We hold all institutional power in Maine. We have your children and they will welcome the liberation army of migrants. Mark my words. Maine will look nothing like it did in the 1990’s. This is our state now.

With the help of New York & MA, we will march hundreds of thousands here. Janet Mills has already stated that she seeks 150,000 immigrants. That is 10% of your population. Suck it up buttercups.

Janet Mills has announced she has created a system to bring in over 100,000 asylum seekers to help Maine. Article explains how.
Great job Janet. We have too many old white men who have zero skills.
