Vote NO on 4 and 2

Questions 4 and 2 on the November ballot were written and paid for by nationally funded anti-government groups that want to cute Maine's funding for public services, lay off public workers and cut the pay and benefits of current and retired public workers. Questions 4 and 2 won't solve anything:

Question 4 would lock in the $500 million in cuts in the current two-year state budget.

Question 2 would shift excise taxes away from those who can afford to buy new cars and onto working families and retired workers who driver older cars.

Fortunately our international union, SEIU, is investing over $300,000 right here in Maine this year to defeat these harmful Questions 4 and 2 before they can hurt us and spread to other parts of our nation. SEIU provided similar resources in 2006 when Maine also voted NO on TABOR. These investments are examples of how our affiliation with SEIU protects current and retired workers in Maine and across our nation.

Questions 4 & 2 won't work. They will hurt Maine people and take away local control. Vote NO on Questions 4 & 2.
