The attempts to emasculate the unions here is a blatant attempt to centralize power. The conservatives preach smaller government but their adjenda shows their real intent is more powerful centralized government.
This is what I take exception to. In Maine, I've seen conservatives fight centralised power of the State and Federal oppression.
And it's not related to being democrat or republican. In local government in Maine, town level, wether you are democrat or republican has nothing to do with getting elected to local office. People that stand with the voice to tell the State ( central government) to go to hell, have a very strong chance of winning.
