Our Senator has decided to not run for re-election. It was once said that, "A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation."
I am so saddened by the news that just came out. Olympia, you were the best Senator Maine could have ever asked for. When the rest of Washington played partisan politics, you didn't. You didn't look at the issues as Republican versus Democrat. You looked at them as right versus wrong. You lived to the tee, the definition of a Statesman. I thank you so very much for that. You have the admiration, love, and support of myself, and so many others in this state. You will be missed. (Thank you Tyler W for your wise words, I couldn't have put it better myself!)
