Pete commented on the blog post Maine Gov. Orders Removal of Labor Mural at Department of Labor
Being in the majority (61%) of the Mainers who DIDN”T vote for this governor I find this absolutely abhorrent.
He’s just one of the many, like Scott Walker, who with the help of deep out of state pockets managed to squeak out a victory in November. Those same deep pockets funded (as never before) republicans in state legislative races and now control both houses.
This goes way beyond the renaming of rooms and the taking down of a mural – it’s what conquerers of old, and new i suppose, do – destroy the population’s history so in time it disappears from all memory. These people are so scary. What’s even more scary is that this seems to be coming out of some Rovian/Kochian playbook that all these recently elected governors are following . . . religiously.
