the quality of life here in Distgusta is going down hill. we brought in alot of out of state corporate jobs, that get tax relief, all paying minimum wage. with maine's high tax rates, its hard to make it by around here. dont let the statistics fool you. many are on welfare here, even if they are working. the roads are horrible, and last I knew, it was estimated 1 sex offender per 10 households. there are only 92 full time dentists in the entire state. and trying to get any form of insurance in this area.. psh. we don't have any. so hopefully you don't mind gumming it. there is nothing to do around here. we have 2 bars, one is for homosexuals, and the only place open at night is wal mart. there is no culture or life here. no muesuems, except one that is extremely boring. our schools are facing consolidation right now as well, which may have a big effect on education,etc. but oh well, the education here isn't that good. the only good thing I can say about this place is that the university of maine at augusta was rated one of the best music schools on the east coast. its just too bad that theres only a few select places for those musicians to play in the entire state. theres so much more I could say about this hell hole, but it'd take too much of your time. Thankfully i'm moving.
