Summary
The op-ed titled, "Not-so-gloomy Maine" (BDN, June 24), by Rep. Charles Fisher of Brewer, weakly sought to paint the Maine Economic Research Institute (MERI) as the "propaganda arm of the Maine Republican Party," a completely wrong assertion most often made by politicians trying to distort facts and avoid economic reality.
The fact is some politicians don't like accountability, nor do they like any negative facts to which they can be directly linked. MERI is a politically diverse organization with Demo-crats, Republicans, Independents and those with other political affiliations, on its board of directors and its Advisory Committee. MERI is not about the politics of politics as some would like to suggest. MERI is about a better Maine economy.See the full content of this document
