Representative Rich Cebra posts “Very Strong” Economic Record

Augusta- In the last week of July, The Maine Economic Research Institute posted it’s MERI Roll Call, the annual evaluation of the voting records of the Maine State Legislature and Senate on key economic development votes. Representative Rich Cebra of Naples posted a 90% rating, the fourth year in a row he scored a 90% or better in the rating. A rating of 75% or better indicates a legislator who champions economic and business legislation favored by free market and free enterprise advocates.  

“Many legislators and candidates will try and tell you that they are pro-economic development and pro-jobs, the MERI rating proves whether they really are or not.” Said Rep Cebra at a recent press conference in Augusta “My 90% MERI rating shows that I not only talk the talk on Jobs and the Economy, I walk the walk and consistently vote in the best interest of the hard working people of Maine and for a stronger Maine economy.”

The Maine Economic Research Institute Board of Directors and Advisory Committee are made up of business owners and senior managers from a broad cross section of Maine’s business sector. They are also a cross section of the political spectrum and are non-partisan as well.

“Being a pro economy legislator means that I have consistently supported those issues that Maine business leaders have identified as critical to our ability to create economic opportunity for Maine Citizens. That means jobs and a higher standard of living for all our residents.” Said Rich Cebra “Maine’s brightest days are ahead but we need more economy friendly legislators and senators so we can implement the common sense reforms that we need at the state level to lower our tax burden, fix our Health Insurance cost crisis and get State government off business back so we can unleash Maine’s economy and prosper. Many of the important issues we face as a state are linked by their pro or anti-economy effects”
