You might expect Sawin Millett, a self-described baseball addict and lifelong Mainer, to be a diehard Red Sox fan. Yet truth be told, since the 1946 World Series, when St. Louis beat Boston four games to three, he's loved the Cardinals.
State employees do not make more money than comparable employees in the private sector. Please don't accept statements that they do without checking the facts.
