Maine Voices: Legislature has a chance to help put thousands of Mainers to work
April 10, 2010
Two years ago, not many people had ever heard the phrase “shovel ready.” Today, of course, we all know it refers to a construction project that is designed, permitted and ready to go.
We also know that money is the only thing standing between a shovel ready project and a project that puts people to work.
Maine has a lot of these projects, and early next week, the Maine Senate is going to have a chance to put more than 2,750 Maine people to work on these shovel ready projects.
