Are you running for office, or going camping?

From the Morning Sentinel:

AUGUSTA -- The state ethics commission voted 5-0 today to require a Maine Senate candidate to reimburse the Maine Clean Election fund for purchases deemed primarily personal in nature.

Independent candidate Dana Kadey of Princeton, who is running for Senate District 29 in Washington County, will be required to pay back the state for a $1,363 truck cap and roof rack; $109.62 spent on mileage to buy the cap and rack; $414 for a Global Positioning System; and $188 for a cooler with electronic cooling and warming capabilities.

Kadey told the commission he is willing to pay back the money. He said he worried that if he used his own money to pay for those items, which he believes are related to his campaign, he would have violated clean election guidelines.

Maine Needs Representation on MTV’s The Real World

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of seeing the tiresome, run of the mill, good looking people on MTV’s The Real World. Honestly, how many pretty women and meat-heads from Boston can we put on this show and expect something new and different?

I think the producers need to cast someone new, a fresh face who brings a new dynamic to the house where “people stop being polite... and start getting real.”

So I say, BRING IN SOMEONE FROM MAINE! And you know what, I got just the guy. Cony High Schools (Augusta) very own, "Scotty to Hotty."
