Op-Ed Column on Government’s Fiscal Responsibilities

A UMaine faculty and a staff member combined to write an opinion column in the Portland Press Herald about the lack of fiscal leadership on the part of both Congress and President Obama. John Mahon, the John M. Murphy chaired Professor of International Business Policy and Strategy at the Maine Business School, and Michael Hastings, the director of UMaine’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, wrote both the Democrats and Republicans are avoiding making any suggestions that might impact the 2012 election.
