Thibodeau a proven leader
John Krueger could not have been further off base in his criticism of Senate President Mike Thibodeau in his June 24 BDN letter to the editor.
First, Krueger expressed concern that the moderator of the Northport annual meeting introduced the Senate president as “someone compared to Paul LePage and Donald Trump.” It was clear to everyone present — with the possible exception of Krueger — that the moderator, who has a history of friendly banter with Thibodeau, was joking.
Anyone who knows anything about Thibodeau could tell Krueger that he is, first and foremost, concerned about the people he represents in Waldo County. During the previous legislative session, he fought to keep the municipal revenue sharing program intact to keep local property taxes low. He has been a tireless advocate for business expansion in Waldo County and the entire state. He led the way in increasing funding for our nursing homes and to combat the heroin crisis by putting more law enforcement on the streets and expanding treatment for addicts.
Thibodeau is a proven leader, and we are very fortunate to have him representing us in Augusta.
It becomes clear at the end of Krueger’s letter that it’s nothing more than a partisan appeal for votes. But as a member of Senate president’s staff, and as a woman, I can tell you that Thibodeau makes everyone who works for him feel appreciated, valued and, most of all, proud.

My son and I are living testimony to "or else". By 2012, my Belfast Bullies blogs (www.belfastbullies.blogspot.com and 2 and 3) morphed to Boycott Belfast when Belfast Chamber of Commerce director Dorothy Havey used her position to slap me in the face for exposing Belfast corruption. She awarded resident abuser, Belfast City Manager Joe Slocum, Citizen of the Year. Another member confirmed Dorothy did that to hurt me. A mom, sold undisclosed City Hall hell, like many in Belfast, kept secret until me. Now Havey is "Special Assistant" to Maine House Senate President Mike Thibodeau. Another thread in the weave of corruption.
In 11/2011, I went public with the City corruption at the City Council meeting. At the same time, a man name JB Turner from Warren also appeared to the City Council public meeting for the first time. To announce his plans to build a shipyard on Front Street. Within 6 months it was up and I was still begging for the City to save Seaview and build a stinking sewer and stop flooding, destroying, eroding, endangering the 12 homes for the past 50 years of development throughout the area. Forcing all that runoff and melt off, illegally to us. JB getting the his *** kissed while kicking mine. Over 50 meetings, threats, discrimination, intimidation, alienation off the charts by the Wall and beyond to date
In 2012, Senate President Thibodeau and Governor LePage came to Belfast for a celebration with all the "dignitaries" to praise the Front Street Ship Yard. http://frontstreetshipyard.com/governor-lepage-at-front-street-shipyard/Maine Governor Paul LePage visited Front Street Shipyard in Belfast, Maine, on August 10, 2012, to show his support for the growing boatyard.

I was there with SUV a bulletin board of documented corruption. I saw Thibodeau when he arrived. I asked him to come see the documents. After the event he said. I stood on public property on the edge of Front Street Shipyard with my sign of Belfast City Hall and Real Estate corruption. They had to keep walking past me to tour the buildings. I kept asking Governor LePage to speak with me. He ignored me, walking as fast as he could. The new media ignored me also. Telling me after the event. After 2? hours, I was still stationed. LePage escaped by getting picked up on FSS property. But Thibodeau could not. His car was in the public lot with mine. I cornered him, He did not want to see. I kept after him. He gave in and barely looked at the proof. He told me that he couldn't help me with Maine corruption (by now it was up to the DEP level with Commissioner Aho corrupt as hell and approving destruction to my property). That it was a conflict of interest. He told me to run for City Council. I said "And become one of them? No way. I can do much more on the outside." Thibodeau left.
Thibodeau and Havey were at BAHS Recognition Night on 6/9/2016 to give out a scholarship. When I saw them, they made me sick. I began crying and stood in the hall to watch my son. I had to come in when they announced for parents to award the top 5 students with an honor stole. This is that moment. The hug was unexpected and stole hearts. All knew and enabled the cruel. Protect their own.
June 9, 2016 Recognition Awards @ Belfast Area High School. Discrimination and Intimidation Education Journey Against The Best Ends. Epic hug, my son and me. At the podium is James Davis, Director of Guidance. The horrible man that targeted my son before he entered 9th grade via scheduling, with holding courses and crucial guidance support to academic excellence and colleges. Regardless of them (the good ole boys bullies of Belfast- adult white, pink and blue collars) this young man kept on going, worked harder and kept hoping. To this captured moment. When Davis stuck it to him again. Up until this picture, Davis had my son believing he was receiving 3rd in the class. Not, 3rd was awarded to another with a basic course load that got her grades up in the last weeks. Davis didn't bother to tell my son until Davis announced it here. "
After 6 years of trying to please and to be invited, he ranked 4th in his class with advanced placement courses, high honors for 4 consecutive years. Ranking is general for any courses maintaining a high GPA. Achieving high honors with this brutal AP course load vs achieving high honors for basic courses is not equal or fair.
This was his schedule, his senior year because of Guidance and administration punishing him to punish me.

High honors maintained. He ranks above all, despite all the abuse from Superintendent Knowles, Director of Guidance James Davis, Guidance Jessica Woods and Principal Fitzpatrick. Destroying his schedule before 9th grade even began and throwing him under their bus again and again. Because of me, forced to protect our home and our lives again. Robbed of support and esteem academically and socially, then denying him the assistance needed to complete the stellar Questbridge College application process at top ranking colleges for top ranking low income students. Full tuition, all those above participated in making sure the extensive application deadline of 10/1/2015 was missed. For 6 weeks prior, I begged Knowles to oversee the process. He refused and also committed fraud against my son. With the rest named above. Documented and dismissed, detailed on this page. http://boycottbelfast.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_11.html
