More feedback on proposed overtime bill

That, I believe, was the intent of the founders — that industry should pay for the needs of government and protection of its people.

Stop playing games. Stop changing the rules. Every time businesses start to succeed, government is compelled to interfere.

Competition will force businesses to adjust wage and hour practices to remain competitive. And in markets where there is no competition, it is then the role of government to assure that any monopoly is truly the best option for the people.

Dear Editor:

As a former business owner, I would need to evaluate the cost of overtime as opposed to hiring a temp worker or full time employee. I think the Maine Center for Economic Policy figures will be off because owners will find another way to get the job done.
