Does District 94 candidate Terry Hayes have your interest at hand - or her own?

With this election it may be time for District Candidate 94 Terry Hayes to retire. It would appear that Terry has lost sight of who she works for – you and I. Instead as we have been finding out Terry Hayes has been working to promote the interest of her business and profession – that of Guardian ad litem.

For the past year there has been growing controversy over the management and oversight of Guardians ad litem. There have been two reports one in 2006 and the other this year that draws attention to this fact. Terry Hayes feels otherwise. Why shouldn't she – she has a business that caters to Guardians ad litem, she is a member of the Guardian ad litem Institute (a trade organization that promotes the interest of Guardians ad litem – which is often contrary to the child’s best interest) and in her position as the minority whip leader Terry has used her position to get any and all correspondence relating to Guardians ad litem.

Is this what Augusta needs? A candidate that shamelessly promotes her interest over those of her constituency. District 94 deserves to represented by someone who will look out for their interest. Tim Turner offers a fresh perspective for District 94 as a man with integrity and honor. Vote Terry Hayes out in District 94 this election cycle.

  2. It's about use of political power: for public benefit or for personal purposes?

  3. Power manages to corrupt the powerful. What is wrong with these people. This is so wrong and so very disturbing to read. How long has Terry been doing this?

  5. It is true check this out:

    It says that Terry Hayes is a Guardian ad litem. This is so wrong for a public figure to do this. I hope that in District 94 she is removed!

  6. This is an outrage that someone like this is still out there "representing" the public. What is wrong with Terry Hayes. It is scary what will happen if she wins election.

  7. Although the polls have closed - we can only hope that those in District 94 voted for change and voted for Tim Turner. It is time for change. Time will tell.

  8. It would appear that those in District 94 would rather choose to have the same rather than for something new. It is also interesting to see that Terry Hayes will probably be the new speaker of the house. So the best interest of the child will not be served - again - because Terry Hayes in all likely hood will vote for her best interest. That of her business, the trade organization she belongs to (Maine Guardian ad Litem Institute) and herself as Guardian ad litem. We the people lose out.

  9. Wouldn't she have to recuse herself, if GAL issues came up while she was speaker?
