Janet Mills on Jobs

 

 


Goal: 100% of students have option of paid internships

These internships will provide real world job experience in the trades, healthcare and other fields, connecting Maine kids to our economy and putting them on a path to good-paying jobs here in Maine. Ultimately, our goal is to expand this program statewide to ensure that 100 percent of Maine students have the option for a six month paid internship between their junior year of high school and one year after high school graduation.

Scholarships & boosted retirement benefits for firefighters

I will create a scholarship fund for young people to train in fire suppression, with the first contribution coming from my contingent account as Governor. Maine needs more firefighters, particularly in rural Maine, and to that same end, I am proud to support legislation to fund the Maine Length of Service Program to boost retirement benefits to firefighters and EMS workers to compensate them for their service. We can do this. Because we are not Washington, we are Maine.

Raise minimum wage to $12 by 2020

Minimum Wage: Raise the minimum wage above the current $7.25/hour?

Mills: Yes. Preserve recent increase passed by voters, to $12/hr by 2020.

Moody: No. Roll back recent increase. This is among the initiatives he opposed.
