Dave is working to bring good paying, non exportable jobs to Knox County. By supporting alternative energy sources, we create local jobs that stay here in Maine. We also have the opportunity to bring tech jobs here. We have the high speed internet that can connect us to the world. I am working to bring the internet entrepreneurs who are ready to start families, here to the midcoast region. We need to create an incubation center to support the beginning of an industry that provides clean, good paying jobs.
We need to raise the minimum wage so that all workers are participating in our economy and not working 40 or more hours and unable to pay the basic expenses of life.
