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.

It's about use of political power: for public benefit or for personal purposes?
ReplyDeletePower 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?
ReplyDeleteThe people of Maine will loose if Terry Hayes gets reelected.
ReplyDeleteIt 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!
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.
ReplyDeleteAlthough 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.
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't she have to recuse herself, if GAL issues came up while she was speaker?
