Maine Democrat State Rep Lets Rip: Truckers
"Don't Have A Lot Of Brains In Their Heads" 

Democrat Rep. Brian Bolduc of Auburn attacks
working Mainers in email rant

Augusta - The Maine Republican Party is calling attention to what they say is an offensive statement, by State Representative Brian Bolduc, D-Auburn, in an aggressive, angry email that was forwarded to the Maine Republican Party.

"Representative Bolduc demonstrates a level of disrespect in this email that I believe the hard-working people of Maine will find shocking," said Jason Savage, executive director of the Maine Republican Party.

"Not only is Representative Bolduc clearly bullying the recipients of the email, he also takes a deeply offensive shot at hard-working Mainers who drive truck for a living," said Mr. Savage.

"For a politician representing a party that claims to look out for working people, showing this level of contempt for those very working people is revealing," said Mr. Savage.

In the email, Representative Bolduc says, in regard to truck noise on his street, the following (emphasis added):

"We need more police survalence to crack down on this shit. They rumble past our homes before they get to the bridge and to turn onto mill street especialy those god damed lumber trucks. They release those breaks and our floors and windows rumble and the sound scares pets and children in our homes. You would think the drivers would have enough common courtesy not to do this infront of residential homes but then again one look at them and you can see they probably dont have a whole hell of allot of brains in their heads."

In addition, Representative Bolduc issues sharp orders to the

email recipients:
 

"I want a cruiser stationed on this road (you can use my driveway) every day between 630 am and 8pm (wich is when the traffic is running) for a week and i want to see citations stacking up or ill have every damned resident of this town who lives on a busy road in that city council chamber!"

"Truck drivers are a back-bone of Maine's economy," said Mr. Savage.  

"This communication is particularly offensive, and we are calling on Maine Democratic Party Leadership to join us and denounce Representative Bolduc's offensive words immediately."

We need more police survalence to crack down on this shit. They rumble past our homes before they get to the bridge and to turn onto mill street especialy those god damed lumber trucks. They release those breaks and our floors and windows rumble and the sound scares pets and children in our homes. You would think the drivers would have enough common courtesy not to do this infront of residential homes but then again one look at them and you can see they probably dont have a whole hell of allot of brains in their heads.  I want something done about it pronto I want a cruiser stationed on this road (you can use my driveway) every day between 630 am and 8pm (wich is when the traffic is running) for a week and i want to see citations stacking up or ill have every damned resident of this town who lives on a busy road in that city council chamber! sincerely,
