Key Discussion Points: a) The Maine legislature passes further budget cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). These include the elimination of 14,500 low income parents from MaineCare, who have income between 100-133% of the poverty level, and all 19 and 20 year olds under 150% of the poverty level. This effects an additional 7,000 Mainers. Both these measures and cuts to the Medicare Savings Program are currently in violation of the federal Affordable Care Act. The budget also includes cuts to the Drugs for the Elderly Program, and to the Fund for a Healthy Maine. Cuts to the latter include a $2 million reduction in state funding for Head Start, a $2 million cut to the Child Care Subsidy Program, $2.6 million to the Maine Families Home Visiting Program, and funding cuts for Family Planning and dental services. b) Governor LePage asked for, and still plans to pursue much deeper cuts in DHHS spending. Press secretary Adrienne Bennett articulates more of the goals and beliefs behind the Governors pursuit to diminish government spending on health and human service programs, particularly MaineCare. This includes discussion on the governor’s latest controversial statement, to the Maine GOP convention, that those on government programs should “get off the couch and get a job.” c) Appropriations Committee member Rep. Rotundo says that recent revenue re-projection numbers negated the needs for the DHHS cuts. She also says, that tax cuts also passed in the supplemental budget bill, are unfunded, causing a loss of revenue of a half a billion dollars, which will have to be made up for in future state budgets.

This week’s topic is the halt to forced recruiting declared by gangs in El Salvador. The report has been prepared by the University of Maine in collaboration with Radio Sumpul and US-El Salvador Sister Cities. ? Las pandillas de El Salvador han prometido el cese del reclutamiento forzoso de jóvenes y declarado que las escuelas serán “zonas de paz”, según un portavoz de la Mara-18 en el centro penal de Quezaltepeque, al norte de San Salvador.??”… en adelante quedan abolidas todas las formas de reclutamiento involuntario de personas menores y mayores de edad a nuestras filas”, declaró Víctor Antonio García, líder de la Mara-18, una de las dos principales pandillas en el país, (la otra es la Mara Salvatrucha, MS-13).?? También se ha declarado que todos los centros escolares del país, públicos y privados serán zonas de paz. Las maras constantemente reclutaban a estudiantes desde los 12 años en las escuelas. Así se afirma que las escuelas “ya no serán consideradas como zonas en disputa territorial, lo cual permitirá que alumnos y maestros puedan desempeñar sus actividades educativas con toda normalidad y los padres de familia se liberen de toda preocupación”. Después de la tregua entre las maras, guiada por el vicario castrense Fabio Colindres y el excomandante guerrillero y diputado Raúl Mijango, el promedio de homicidios diarios en El Salvador se redujo de 14 a 5, según algunas fuentes. Los pandilleros dicen que ellos pueden ser parte de “la solución al más grave problema que agobia a la sociedad salvadoreña”. El secretario general de la OEA, José Miguel Insulza, visitará El Salvador en junio para conocer la tregua pactada entre las principales pandillas con la mediación de la Iglesia católica. Insulza aceptó la invitación del presidente Mauricio Funes, informó la Organización de Estados Americanos. Colindres, “por encargo del Gobierno salvadoreño, ha conducido un inédito proceso de tregua entre miembros de pandillas” en El Salvador, observó la OEA. Como resultado ha habido “una disminución de alrededor del 63 por ciento en los homicidios cometidos en todo el país”. La OEA subraya que el 14 de abril fue el primer día, desde que existen registros estadísticos, sin homicidios en El Salvador. El 20 de marzo Colindres anunció la tregua entre las dos principales pandillas del país, la Mara Salvatrucha y la Pandilla 18. Poco después el presidente Funes afirmó que mantendrá el combate a las pandillas a pesar de la tregua, que ha visto la reducción de los asesinatos en el país, según el Gobierno. El verano pasado, Funes había anunciado que crearía un servicio militar “sin armas”, un esfuerzo por alejar a los jóvenes de las maras. El proyecto del Servicio Militar Obligatorio de Protección Civil busca “integrar” a las filas castrenses “para su protección a 5,000 jóvenes en riesgo de ingresar a las pandillas”. Los jóvenes recibirán “seis meses de orientación para su rehabilitación por medio de adiestramiento militar sin armas”, dijo Funes ante el Congreso. Los participantes en este programa de “protección civil” recibirán una formación vocacional para lograr un cambio en su conducta y su inserción en la vida productiva del país. “Está previsto que estos jóvenes aprendan tareas de protección civil, de manera que sirvan de apoyo al país en labores de prevención y mitigación de riesgos”, dijo Funes. El presidente añadió que, mientras cumplan el servicio militar obligatorio en este programa, los jóvenes permanecerán en “centros de formación ciudadana” y recibirán un salario. La violencia, principal queja de los salvadoreños, es causada principalmente por unos 18,000 miembros de maras o pandillas, que extorsionan a comerciantes y transportistas, y por bandas d[...] archives@weru.org no no community,radio,maine,downeast,politics,radio,talk,radio,grassroots,volunteer,powered http://archives.weru.org/united-way/united-way-of-eastern-maine-presents-51912 http://archives.weru.org/united-way/united-way-of-eastern-maine-presents-51912#comments Sat, 19 May 2012 13:30:10 +0000 podcast@weru.org (Community Radio WERU FM 89.9 Blue Hill and 102.9 Bangor, Maine) http://archives.weru.org/?p=9039 http://archives.weru.org/united-way/united-way-of-eastern-maine-presents-51912/feed 0 0:05:08 Host: Adam Lacher, Director, Communications and Community Engagement for United Way of Eastern Maine .

Since the Toxic Substances Control Act was passed in 1976, only 200 have been tested, and only 5 restricted. The requirement is that the government prove that chemicals are harmful, not that the manufactures, like Dow and Dupont, prove that they’re safe, c) Numerous health, medical and other organizations in Maine are pushing for the passage of the federal Safe Chemicals Act. In April, Maine’s legislature passed a unanimous resolution to call on the US Congress to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act. On May 22nd, a Maine delegation will join the stroller brigade in Washington DC to call on Congress to pass the Safe Chemicals Act.

In 2010, Maine passed a law banning the hormone disrupting plastic additive, BPA, from baby bottles, sippy cups and other reusable plastic containers. b) Maine law also now requires baby food manufacturers to list whether BPA is used in their container lids. Not all companies are complying, though BPA is present. It is also used in the lining of food cans. Citizen movement is pushing for further action on BPA. c) The LePage Administration, who has vigorously opposed action on BPA, demoted of Department of Environmental Protection employee, Andrea Lani, for testifying at a legislative hearing in defense of strong BPA protections. Lani just won a settlement against the state, but no longer holds he position overseeing the Safer Chemicals in Children’s Products Programs.

(FMI: www.privacyrevolution.org ) Segment 2: We listen in on part of April’s meeting of the Bangor City Council, as they consider how they are going to deal with Governor LePage’s line item veto of state funding for the General Assistance program. Key Discussion Points (list at least 3): Privacy is under siege in the digital age Since 9/11 in the US, privacy has been more and more reduced by government actions, particularly data mining Current initiatives in congress would erode privacy even more Bangor City Councilors are considering which programs they may need to cut to make up for the budget shortfall caused by LePage’s line item veto Area organizations making budget requests are questioned by councilors, including one that asked why younger people can’t join the senior center, and another who grilled the Bangor Public Library representatives about their decision to not ban “Occupy Bangor” activists last fall (seemingly implying that the library may be punished financially) Recorded talk by Michael German, Senior Council for National Security, ACLU, former FBI and audio from April’s Bangor budget meeting (several speakers) Call In Program: no archives@weru.org no no community,radio,maine,downeast,politics,radio,talk,radio,grassroots,volunteer,powered http://archives.weru.org/soapbox/weru-community-soapbox-5112 http://archives.weru.org/soapbox/weru-community-soapbox-5112#comments Tue, 01 May 2012 20:00:04 +0000 podcast@weru.org (Community Radio WERU FM 89.9 Blue Hill and 102.9 Bangor, Maine) http://archives.weru.org/?p=8967 http://archives.weru.org/soapbox/weru-community-soapbox-5112/feed 0 0:30:03 Host: Amy Browne Engineer: Matt Murphy Issue: Open-mic call in show Program Topic: various Key Discussion Points: May Day, climate change skepticism, climate change, solutions for a healthier planet, Fukushima Reactor 4 Guests by name and affiliatio[...] Host: Amy Browne Engineer: Matt Murphy Issue: Open-mic call in show Program Topic: various Key Discussion Points: May Day, climate change skepticism, climate change, solutions for a healthier planet, Fukushima Reactor 4 Guests by name and affiliation: n/a Call In Program: yes SoapBox archives@weru.org no no http://archives.weru.org/outside-the-box/outside-the-box-5112 http://archives.weru.org/outside-the-box/outside-the-box-5112#comments Tue, 01 May 2012 11:30:53 +0000 podcast@weru.org (Community Radio WERU FM 89.9 Blue Hill and 102.9 Bangor, Maine) http://archives.weru.org/?p=8940 http://archives.weru.org/outside-the-box/outside-the-box-5112/feed 0 0:05:02 Producer/Host: Larry Dansinger “May Day!” Producer/Host: Larry Dansinger “May Day!” archives@weru.org no no community,radio,maine,downeast,politics,radio,talk,radio,grassroots,volunteer,powered Community Radio WERU FM 89.9 Blue Hill and 102.9 Bangor, MainenonadultAudio Archives of spoken word programming on Community Radio WERU 89.9 FM Blue Hill & 102.9 FM Bangor, Maine
