Larry Doughty’s letter “Cashman and cronyism,” (BDN July 23) reminded me of a conversation that I had with my young niece just before Baldacci’s first election for governor. The schools in Bangor held mock elections and my niece’s class participated. I asked her who she voted for – her answer was “Baldacci”. When asked why, she said “My friends’ dad is a friend to Mr. Baldacci and Baldacci said he would give him a job if he is elected.”

Out of the mouths of Babes!
