In a recent Kennebec Journal article, Eliot Cutler responded to the Maine State Employees Association-Service Employees International Union and addressed state employees directly. Here is a quote from Eliot:
“I want the support of state employees and will work hard to earn it. We have problems that we need to work together to solve.
I met with the MSEA-SEIU leaders last fall and told them that many people throughout Maine believe that state government is too remote, too big, too expensive, too unfriendly, leaderless and just plain broken. Nine months later, those feelings among the voters I meet with on a daily basis have only grown more intense.
But we can fix this. We can get rid of the programs that we don’t need or can no longer afford. We can improve customer service. And if we do those things, we can restore the trust and confidence that Maine people have in their government.”
