Deveau for Senate - Ax the Tax!

I couldn't find much information online about candidate for Maine Senate, Dan Deveau. When I spoke with him last night, he wasn't sure if his website from last campaign was still operational. I'll be out helping him gather Maine Clean Election Act (MCEA) qualifying $5 contributions so he can run as a clean candidate... though I don't necessarily believe in the way it is run. We need to make major changes to the Act. Here's a link to the list of the 35 Senate candidates.

Dan's the town manager for Cyr Plantation, located on District #35. He says he tries to keep his town in the black by making expenditures only after it's decided where the money will come from. Dan is helping Paul LePage with his campaign; LePage is running for governor, using private funds though. There are quite a few candidates this election. Here's a link to information on Maine candidates running for political offices.

Dan, a Republican, is urging a Yes vote on Question One in June. Here's a story about the new tax, from last fall.
