Maine Implements The Clean Air Act: Federalism, Environmentalism And Interest Group Accountability, Jon Reisman
Maine Implements The Clean Air Act: Federalism, Environmentalism And Interest Group Accountability, Jon Reisman
Maine Policy Review
The implementation of environmental policy initiatives often brings about a complex interplay between science and policy, public opinion, interest groups, federal and state mandates, and political machination. Jon Reisman uses Maine’s recent experience of compliance with the 1990 Clean Air Act to illustrate this complexity. In doing so, he addresses several important, but often ignored, issues, such as stakeholder participation in the policy making process, interest group accountability to implementation, and the long term consequences to the environment if these issues are avoided.
Rural Development Strategy: 1990s Context And Constraints, David Vail, Michael Hillard
Rural Development Strategy: 1990s Context And Constraints, David Vail, Michael Hillard
Maine Policy Review
In this comprehensive article on rural economic development, David Vail and Michael Hillard describe key trends and past changes which are shaping rural America’s—and in particular, rural Maine’s—economic future. They conclude with seven hypotheses about rural Maine’s socioeconomic crisis, and call for the development of a state-level strategy for rural development that fully accounts for Maine’s varied resources, geography, and opportunities.

The Rise Of The Marburg Phoenix: Karl Vorlaender's Kantian/Marxian Synthesis As Key In The Debate Over Capitalism Vs. Economic Democracy, Kevin M. Mccarron
The Rise Of The Marburg Phoenix: Karl Vorlaender's Kantian/Marxian Synthesis As Key In The Debate Over Capitalism Vs. Economic Democracy, Kevin M. Mccarron
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Mainstream economics has long avoided two issues pressing on the discipline and on society: Ownership of the means of production and ethics. While Adam Smith clearly presented his Wealth of Nations as a normative adjunct to his Theory of Moral Sentiments, he left alone the question of ownership. While Karl Marx presented a detailed critique of the theory and practice of capitalism, he failed to produce an explicit ethical theory to explain why capitalism is unacceptable. In 1971 there appeared a work that would have great impact on the academic world, John Rawls' A Theory of Justice. Here was a …

An Interview With Commissioner Peet: Mental Health System Reform, Melodie Peet
An Interview With Commissioner Peet: Mental Health System Reform, Melodie Peet
Maine Policy Review
Commissioner of the Maine Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, Melodie Peet, stands at the center of a revolution in how mental health services are organized, administered, and delivered. Since February, 1995 Peet has been working with providers, families, and consumers throughout Maine to reinvent the state’s mental healthcare system from one that is dominated by state government and large institutions to one largely comprised of community-based systems of care. These changes match national trends yet have stirred great controversy in Maine. In an interview with Maine Policy Review, Commissioner Peet discussed the changing role and shape of …
A Political Process That Worked: Comprehensive Healthcare Reform In Progress, Richard H. Campbell
A Political Process That Worked: Comprehensive Healthcare Reform In Progress, Richard H. Campbell
Maine Policy Review
The final report of the Maine Health Care Reform Commission (MHCRC) was submitted to Governor Angus King in November, 1995. Given the complexity of what we call the healthcare system as well as the moving targets of federal and state incentives for reform, the report accomplished a great deal in a short period of time. Commission members were "mandated to offer a single payer universal coverage bill, a multiple payer universal coverage bill, and a bill to achieve reform through incremental changes to the existing system, emphasizing cost containment, managed care, and improved access. The commission was also mandated to …

Start Making Sense: A Legislator Looks At Professional Licensure Reform, Dale Mccormick
Maine Policy Review
This past summer, the Maine Health Professions Regulation Project and its task force released a report to Governor King and the Maine legislature. The report, "Toward a More Rational State Licensure System for Maine’s Health Professions," represents the best thinking and accomplishments of a nearly two-year project directed by Judy Kany of Medical Care Development, Inc. Dale McCormick’s commentary addresses five aspects of this project: the approach of the task force, why licensure reform is necessary, the relationship between this project and the Maine Health Care Reform Commission, the report issued by the task force, and a brief review of …

A Reader Response To The Basic Needs Budget
A Reader Response To The Basic Needs Budget
Maine Policy Review
This commentary presents a thoughtful, personal illustration of the basic needs budget approach in response to an article by Stephanie Seguino published in Maine Policy Review in October 1995. The basic needs budget approach originally was designed to more accurately measure household economic status than the official poverty measure. The intent is to provide a series of budgets that describe the amount of income required by “self-sufficient” households to meet basic needs. As this reader’s analysis so aptly demonstrates, more generalized use of a basic needs budget approach would in fact require the development of a series of baseline budgets …

Ethics And The Election Of 1996, Steve Ballard
Maine Policy Review
In the Margaret Chase Smith Essay, Steve Ballard discusses the Maine Code of Election Ethics: its origins, its successes and failures, and how it can be improved. Pioneered by the Margaret Chase Smith Library in Skowhegan, the code is a unique response to a national problem—making representative government work.
Targeted Economic Development: Its Role In Maine Economic Policy, Carla Dickstein
Targeted Economic Development: Its Role In Maine Economic Policy, Carla Dickstein
Maine Policy Review
Targeted economic development strategies challenge traditional approaches to economic development by making explicit the recipients of job growth and job creation. They link economic development concerns such as business growth and a positive business climate to often-ignored social criteria that are reflected in the question of who wins and who loses in our present economy. Carla Dickstein brings a practitioner’s perspective to this issue by relating Coastal Enterprises Inc.’s experience in using gap financing programs to link people with low incomes to jobs created through business start-ups or expansions.
Tax Policy And Economic Development: A Roundtable Assessment, Christopher St. John, Alan P. Brigham, Charles Colgan, Brian H. Mahany
Tax Policy And Economic Development: A Roundtable Assessment, Christopher St. John, Alan P. Brigham, Charles Colgan, Brian H. Mahany
Maine Policy Review
Economic development continues to be a top policy issue for the state of Maine. Within the broad topic of economic development is the issue of tax policy, and the state continues to experiment with changes in traditional taxes, such as sales and income, as well as with newer approaches, such as Employment Tax Increment Financing. What works and what does not work? Can the state afford the potential loss of revenues associated with tax incentives? Who wins and who loses from these policies? To answer these questions, Maine Policy Review convened a panel of experts to review Maine’s record. Two …
Electrical Industry Restructuring: From Policy To Implementation, Evan D. Richert
Electrical Industry Restructuring: From Policy To Implementation, Evan D. Richert
Maine Policy Review
Both in Maine and nationally, there is continuous evidence of fundamental transformation of the electric utility industry. Maine Policy Review continues coverage of this issue with Evan Richert’s summary of the June 1996, fifth annual conference on Public Utility Regulation and the Environment (PURE). Richert relates the conference discussions to the PUC’s July 1996 draft plan on electric utility industry restructuring and to state government’s efforts to create a comprehensive energy policy for Maine.
Maine’S Workers’ Compensation System: Is It Making The Grade?, Jonathan W. Reitman
Maine’S Workers’ Compensation System: Is It Making The Grade?, Jonathan W. Reitman
Maine Policy Review
Fundamental changes in Maine’s workers' compensation system were legislated four years ago. What impact have they had and what remains on the policy agenda? This article provides a comprehensive and balanced assessment of that reform effort, suggesting dramatic improvements in the system. But work remains: Vocational rehabilitation, labor-management collaboration, and cost-containment are especially in need of improvement.
Rethinking Criminal Justice In Maine: An Interview With Commissioner Joseph Lehman, Joseph Lehman

Clearcutting In Maine: Would Somebody Please Ask The Right Question?, John M. Hagan Iii
Maine Policy Review
In November [1996], Maine citizens will cast their votes for or against the Green Party-initiated referendum on forest practices. Better known as the clearcutting referendum, its supporters and opponents have staked out their terms in what has become a bitter debate over "jobs for Maine people" versus the "future of the Maine North Woods." Yet, amidst the deluge of media campaigns and ideological predictions, rest important questions—about forest management practices and how best to ensure a viable future for the people and forests of Maine. John Hagan contributes a perspective to this debate, blending scientific data with personal experience of …
Criminal Justice Policy Strategies For Maine, Craig Mcewen, Evelyn Hanneman
Criminal Justice Policy Strategies For Maine, Craig Mcewen, Evelyn Hanneman
Maine Policy Review
Is Maine controlling crime in ways that may lead to reductions in crime rates as well as a criminal justice system that is more cost-efficient to support? Craig McEwen and Evelyn Hanneman indicate we are not and ask the question: Can Maine take advantage of its relatively low crime rate to rethink and improve crime control strategies? In answering this question McEwen and Hanneman present a forceful argument for restorative justice, where repairing the harm to victims and communities becomes the forefront of our response to crime. They suggest six strategies to achieve this change, including the planned closing of …
An Interview With David Peterson And David Jones: Envisioning The Future Of Rural Healthcare, David Peterson, David Jones
An Interview With David Peterson And David Jones: Envisioning The Future Of Rural Healthcare, David Peterson, David Jones
Maine Policy Review
Managed care and other healthcare changes may impact Maine differently than more urban states. Managed care companies, striving to create economies of scale in healthcare financing, often prefer to fold rural regions into larger plans that emanate from more populous hubs. In much of Maine, many question whether this will be best for the consumers and providers of rural healthcare. Maine Policy Review interviewed David Peterson, president and chief executive officer of The Aroostook Medical Center (TAMC), and family practitioner David Jones who practices at Aroostook Family Practice and is an active member of TAMC's medical staff, to obtain their …
