Why I support overtime protections I am writing in favor of LD 402 , "Expanding Overtime Pay for Maine Workers." This bill directly impacts members of my family, my friends, and the overall working population of Maine. I am a single mother of two young children. I am not only working, but also a full-time student. Protecting Maine workers is a priority of mine because I know what it feels like to work and not have my employer pay me for that time.
While working as a waitress and hostess, I was working beyond 40 hours a week — nearly 50 — yet my employer did not pay me overtime. This impacted my confidence, as I did not feel appreciated as a worker. It took a big emotional strain since my family provided care for my child, so I was working later into the night and was not able to compensate them properly. It not only put a strain on us financially, but also emotionally as I was working long hours during my sons developmental age.

Why is it, everything run by state or federal gubment is a financial fiasco? There is a common denominator here, what can it be. Just a thought, how about we start letting private sector companies run these dismal failures? Just might save the taxpayer BILLIONS!

Joe Biden: Michigan, put your faith in Team Joe
It was only 11 years ago that the heart and soul of Michigan's economy — the American auto industry — was teetering on the brink of collapse. Car sales had dropped by 40% overnight. Banks were freezing access to credit. Auto plants were cutting shifts, putting their own future prospects, and those of so many Michigan families, into doubt.
I will never forget the details of those first briefings from our economic team after President Obama and I took office: Homes had been abandoned, water pipes were crumbling, half of the street lights had gone out across Detroit. Republicans argued that we should stand aside and let the market work its will — if the auto industry disappeared, so be it.
