What's This, Someone Looking Outside The Box?

"Cianbro CEO pushes 'bold' economic plan

Peter Vigue of Pittsfield stirs speculation that he'll run for governor of Maine next year.

WATERVILLE — Flanked by a large photo of his four grandchildren, Peter G. Vigue on Monday addressed about 100 people at the Waterville Rotary Club, outlining his grand vision for transforming Maine's economy.

Text on the photo read, "It's all about people." For Vigue, the implication was clear: He's pushing proposals he hopes will improve the future for coming generations.

"What will the future hold for the next 20, 25 years? It's not very promising; we need the infrastructure," Vigue said. And, in an apparent swipe at current state policies, he added, "We need to come up with creative strategies and approaches and stop this business of taking it off the backs of the people of this state.""
