She does have that air about her sometimes. She really is a pleasant enough
person to speak with though, and seemed to have a real handle on the issues

with the results, but Snowe had a really tough job here and I can appreciate
that.

They were vehemently opposed to clearcutting in principle. One of the
signatories, if not one of the sponsors, of the citizens opposition
proposition. One of the "Vote Yes On One" votes we've recently had.
