FTS: With five other siblings I am sure you must have found plenty of ways to entertain each other while growing up. What’s one talent that you’ve picked up through the years that most people don’t know about?
MM: Well I didn’t learn it from my siblings but I’m pretty good at tying flies, which is something I picked up from my dad.
FTS: You spent most of your life before politics as a worker and supervisor at Great Northern Paper in East Millinocket. GNP has changed hands several times in the last few decades and now it appears state funding or incentives are again needed to get it back on track. In a town with a population now under 1,800 people, why should we keep bailing out the paper mills?
FTS: You are running for Governor in what appears to be three man race with three well known and very different personalities. What made you decide that the time was now to run for Governor instead of continuing on as a representative in Washington?
FTS: You proposed a plan that would provide free tuition at state colleges/universities to in-state students for their sophomore year. Can you expand upon your thinking with this proposal and discuss how it may be funded considering recent budget cuts to the UMaine System?
FTS: We always like to finish our interviews by asking, when the time is appropriate, what beverage do you use to fill your stein?
