“Without workers and employers, we do not have an economy. Maine’s Department of Labor needs to serve and balance the interests of both employees and employers to accomplish its mission. I encourage anyone with artwork that celebrates the cooperation that exists in Maine’s workplaces to consider offering it for display at any Department of Labor or Career Center Location. I appreciate the effort and talent Ms. Taylor devoted to the creation of her mural as well as the important history it represents. I am pleased that her work of art will be prominently displayed in Portland City Hall, the site of Maine’s first State House, (emphasis added).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Newton v. LePage“The Administration originally removed the mural because of its messaging. The mural portrays only one party that the Department of Labor serves — workers not job creators. In order to change the culture the decision was made to find a more appropriate location for the mural. It was then discovered how the mural was funded and that these funds could have been put into the Unemployment Trust Fund for Mainers to benefit from. When the Governor learned of this it further supported the decision.”
