Folks,
So much hand wringing for a paper plant closing - which is happening all over the country. Is Maine a mini-California? In the past two years, my company’s California-based manufacturing jobs have risen by 250, and we are gearing up for 300 more in the South Bay and the OC. I’ve found business straightened to expand; the talent pool is deep and the workers eager. I’ll keep expanding here, thank you.
And isn’t small to medium sized business a driver of growth?
