[MaineDem]

AUGUSTA, Maine — Four months after his election as chairman of the Maine Republican Party, former five-term legislator Joe Bruno of Raymond said Sunday he is stepping down.

The party´s vice chairman, Mark Ellis of Augusta, will assume the top job.

Bruno, employed as vice president of the Waldron Group of Falmouth and Community Pharmacies of Augusta, said time commitments prompted him to relinquish his post in the party organization.

"It´s a full-time volunteer position and I just didn´t have the time to devote 50 hours a week to do what needs to get done," he said.

Hmmmmmm. It's almost like he wants to spend more time with his family. I can't imagine it would be an easy job to lead Maine Republicans. Good luck to Mr Ellis.

1. he was on that tv show

I WATCHED HIM ON T.V. THE OTHER DAY.I think he just got fed up with the flip flopping his
party is noted for. Outside of stirring the pot what have they (the maine republican party)
accomplished lately?
Heres just two recent examples: fix our highways,modernize the school districts.
a $295 million dollar bond issue with a 100 million for roads,and a band-aid school re-districting.
THOSE WHO LED THE FIGHT SWITCHED SIDES WHEN IT EFFECTED THEIR BACK YARD OR POCKET BOOK.

THE THINK TANK SHOULD BE RE-NAMED:THE THUNK TUNK!
