I'm excited to see what becomes of the large portion of land in Northern Maine that was just declared a National Monument. Hopefully, that will evolve into a park some day. I think that would be great for that area. That area of the state has been rather economically depressed for a long time. Not much happening over there at all. LePage is an idiot, as always, to bitch about this. I think this will be a good thing for that area.
