what is maines' largest employer?? i believe it is the state itself

maine also gets a bad rap about being business friendly,

Vermont is right there as far as the largest employer is concerned- Scary but It's the state itself!

VT also gets a bad rap about being business friendly too..we're not.

As far as similar attributes go we both only have one area code 207 for you and 802 for us.
Almost forgot we share the same ****ty phone company Fair Point...but not for long.

If you can live with the very high humidity, super cold winters, and tons of snow (most years), then Maine has some very aesthetically pleasing things. If you don't have to make money, it's a great place to live.

Just my 2 cents.
Great, better, (how can a winter be green apart from evergreens), great, dont like the ocean, great.

High humidity (maine is not that high, ive visited family... In florida... In the middle of summer), the cold drives people away. There are ways to make money, but gathering from this board just not traditional ways...
