The names of twenty exiled Mainers resounded through the echoing dome of the Maine statehouse, as WRFR Community Radio producer Ron Huber read them out beneath a banner reading End Exile.Did Governor Baldacci hear? He might've; his office was but a dozen yards away. You can listen to the reading of the names of the Exiles in the Maine Statehouse's Hall of Flags to the accompaniment of a small drum. (short mp3).
How can we as a state countenance using punitive exile as a tool of "corrections"? Bring 'em home, Governor.
