Jim Freeman is NOT pro port!
ReplyDeleteIf it walks like a duck, squawks like a duck, it IS a duck. Freeman is one of Maine DOT's key port supporters.
ReplyDeleteCole waves him around like a monkey on a stick: "See!" he cries. "Even the radicals are on board!" Jimmy then obligingly grins and chatters, mocking island huggers, ratting their plans out to law enforcement, and waving off the youthful rads of earth first with fierce shrieks and calumnies. If this benighted hell-port should come to pass, it will be very largely because of Freeman's treachery.
