New 'free market' think tank sets its sights on 2012 legislative session

Bragdon has repeatedly dismissed claims that the group broke any of the rules that restrict tax-exempt organizations, as well as claims that the group was bankrolled by shadowy monied interests such as the Koch brothers. His work eventually caught the eye of individuals in Florida who want the Sunshine State to have its own version of the Heritage Policy Center.

According to Bragdon, he left his influential position in Maine because he was interested in working in a bigger state.

“This was a good opportunity for me,” he tells The Florida Independent.

Bragdon says there “were initial donors who were interested in having [him] here” in Florida, but will not name who those donors are.

“Every year we will disclose our donors,” he says. “Unless they would prefer us not to disclose their contribution, but we don’t usually have a problem with that.”

While Florida donors might not request anonymity, Maine donors did request it back when Bragdon was with Heritage Policy Center. In March, Bragdon  told a Maine newspaper that his donors chose to remain anonymous because of possible “political retribution (against) individuals who may choose privately to support our work.

Keeping It Clean: Maine's Fight for Fair Elections - YES! Magazine

Eleven years ago, a waitress named Deb Simpson was elected to Maine’s state legislature—one of 116 candidates to run that year under the state’s newly implemented Clean Elections Act, a first-in-the-nation attempt to replace private campaign contributions with public funding in order to keep rich, out-of-state special interests from determining who gets elected to public office or how they vote once they get there.

Simpson—who, at the time, was earning $3.18 an hour plus tips—became something of a poster child for what the law was meant to accomplish: allowing political outsiders without ties to lobbyists or wealthy patrons to gain office through the support of their constituents. 

“We all have had equal access to get our message out,” Simpson told Public Campaign, a pro-Clean Elections group that profiled her in 2006 as an example of what the system makes possible. “We get to have a dialogue with the voters, to get out there and try to convince them to vote for us, hopefully based on the ideals and values that we have, that we share....

Bath Salts Must Be Banned Under Federal Law | The Exception ...

They are called "bath salts," marketed under such appealing labels as "Vanilla Sky" and "Ivory Wave." The truth is, however, the correct name for this new breed of devastating drugs is "time bomb."

These dangerous drugs, synthetic stimulants, first burst upon the American scene last year. Since then, use has skyrocketed here in Maine and throughout the country. With the increased use of bath salts have come alarming reports of extremely hazardous and long-lasting effects.

Those effects include immediate dangers - highly elevated blood pressures, heart rates, and body temperatures, followed by psychosis, delusions, and hallucinations that lead to wildly irrational, self-destructive, and violent behavior. These psychological symptoms can persist for weeks and even months after ingestion, and can flare up without warning. Emergency rooms have reported cases in which a small army of medical workers cannot subdue people under the influence of bath salts and even large doses of sedatives do not calm them down.
