Dear Alison, I think of your sister Fran being hugged by you, and the haunting look of fear on her face. I can't forget it. It is a real fear, which i feel is like mine, a fear of the future, which we all have to face. I have had no coverage for 5 of 15 nights. The governor, Angus King, of Maine is still chewing clover out in left field. Tel. 207-287-3531. I have been functionng so erratically that I cannot even begin to describe it. The night pay has been LOWERED from $15/night to $14.60 per night!! Surely this breaks all kinds of Federal labor laws...but it seems like we invisible PWP's are not being heard or listened to , isn't that horrible?? Is it in America's interest to allow slave wages in Maine????? As for foreclsoure, there are now 4 liens, and the lawyer (David Kreisler) 207 774-6206 is slowly responding ,between his trials. I am a pro bono case. I have to be patient. The city is supposed to have an Executive Session (confidential) about me. I have made application through the lawyer for 3 year (1998-1999-2000) abatement of 100% of my prperty taxes and sewer bypass taxes. The application took 8 months to do, is now notarized, and is sitting around on someone's desk at the law firm , NOT sent to the scheduler at City Hall yet. My taxes are $ 2380 per year. My income is $ 8436 per year. SO much for inspiring you .... sometimes the truth is too painful to be ignored. So ther's my distressing update.
