Mark Eves talks issues, minimum wage cuts rejected, and a new bill spits in the eyes of referendum voters
/

This week on the Beacon Podcast, Taryn, Ben and Mike interview former Speaker of the House and current gubernatorial candidate Mark Eves on how he differs from his opponents, what steps we need to take to provide for Maine seniors and why he isn’t running as a Clean Elections candidate.

Also: Ben diagnoses the Republican Party, the House rejects a minimum wage cut, and Democrat Louis Luchini introduces a bill that chips away at Mainers’ ability to make changes by referendum.

Our sponsor this week is Eliza Hill, in honor of Community Water Justice.
