Cary and Cain Will Now Be A Weekly Segment

As you may be aware, I have been appearing 2x month on the George Hale / Ric Tyler show along with Rep. Emily Cain (D), Orono to discuss local politics and the state of our state. We were approached this past week by Blueberry Broadcasting with a request to make the segment a regular weekly appearance and we've decided to do so. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to discuss politics on the air with Emily and I thank those of you who listen to the show and have shared your many comments over these past few months.

We appear on the show each Thursday at 7am. The segment can be hear on 103.9fm in the Bangor Region and 101.3fm in the Waterville/August region.

If you're on Facebook - we have a Facebook page for the segment - it can be found here. Please join the group and let us know your thoughts and what topics you'd like to hear us engage in a discussion on.

It's amazing to me the calls and emails we get each time we're on. The phone number to participate is 1-800-966-1039 and the email is feedback@caryandcain.com

Again - thank you for the support. These are your topics and I'm thankful for the opportunity and proud to be the voice for your concerns!

The 7 worst states to start a business

U.S. News & World Report yesterday posted an article on its website called, "The 7 worst states to start a business." It placed Maine at No. 4, citing its high property, personal income and individual capital gains taxes. But it did say that Maine is a prosperous state compared to some. "Relative economic prosperity, however, does not necessarily mean a state is a good one in which to start a business. That's because, while not poor, Maine's economy is not dynamic either."

1. West Virginia
2. Iowa
3. Arkansas
4. Maine
5. Hawaii
6. Kentucky
7. Montana

COMMENT: We can do better! Working to get folks in Augusta that understand the burdens of business, the logic of accountable spending the overall responsibility of budget management will help to get our priorities in line and state back on the same track.
