I believe the screw ups will be multitude by this political rookie! His clan of rookies are many,many have failed to get as far as him(elected) ! why -thats simple they are regressive and self serving! usually 5 minutes is all you need to see how radical they are!-Now we see what happens when your unknowing and loud! You lose! Yesterday they started selling off the equipment in the older mill! friday they closed down the mill that was running and put 480 people out of work! Just imagine how many other businesses in that area will fold! just imagine the loss of income that will be to the state of Maines tax base FOR YEARS TO COME NOT ONLY FROM THE COMPANY BUT FROM THE WORKERS THAT ARE OUT OF A JOB! Just imagine the fool that spouted off for the cameras yesterday about the left being in control - well for that a$$ hole-the lefts governor kept 3 paper industries in maine open! the baileyville mill in wash. county,the milty-nocket mill-the Ip mill and in all I think over the past 15 years at least a total of 6 mills! when are the fools going to realize -you get cheap you lose jobs! you been in office for a hundred days and you've lost over a thousand jobs! WHEN YOU PAY PEOPLE LESS THAN A LIVING WAGE THE ONLY WAY THEY SURVIVE IS TO LEAVE THE STATE! LETS ALL CHEER HUFF AND PUFF THE LOSER FROM LOUIE TOONS!

Meriturn’s decision to end negotiations. The company also had sought a biomass cogeneration facility at the Millinocket mill, contracts with the mills’ labor unions and relief from any liability associated with an old mill dump in the Dolby section of East Millinocket.
Asked how he was feeling about the mills after meeting with the governor, Conlogue replied simply: “Guarded.”
“When you have a buyer who has canceled out on a deal, it is a little bit disconcerting,” he said. “But we’ll get through it. We’ll figure it out.”
During Monday’s meeting, LePage reportedly pledged to talk with the mills’ current owner, Brookfield Renewable Power Inc., about a possible extension of its original April 22 deadline for closing the East Millinocket mill as the state renews discussions with other potential buyers.
Given the concessions offered, Scally wondered why Meriturn didn’t buy the mills and speculated that the San Francisco firm was merely a stalking horse for other buyers. “Why,” he said, “would Brookfield even entertain these people?”
“Now,” Scally said, “that Hansen has done all the dirty work and gotten from us all these concessions, maybe some other people will come back and see what kind of a deal they can get from us, which was probably the plan all along.”
Meriturn had set an April 29 deadline to complete the sale. Katahdin Paper Co. had hoped to restart the idled East Millinocket mill Tuesday, but that plan fell apart when negotiations with Meriturn collapsed, leaving roughly 450 jobs in limbo.
