Forbes The best places to do business..

and Maine is not one of them.  The Lobster will have its day, but alas for now we must accept a ranking of 48th in the bation that supposedly measures how good a business climate our state has a drop of 2 places since the last report 2 years prior.  One shining beacon of light within the report though:  16th in quality of life, hence our phrase "The Way Life Should Be" still rings somewhat true, but without drastic change in the way our state government taxes and spends Maine will continue to plod along with this dismal outcome.  At least real estate sales are booming along, right :)....... up here in Maine inventories are really starting to pile up over these summer months making myself whom is generally an optimist about the status of the markets extremely worrisome about where it is all tending. The Maine Housing Data for the month of May was horrific and I am very nervous about what June numbers will show.
