Reaction to State of the Union Address

Statement

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree issued the following statement on President Obama's State of the Union speech tonight:

"I was glad to hear the President put the economy front and center in his speech. He is absolutely right that we need to make fixing the economy and making it work for the middle class the number one goal. I agree that we have to bring American manufacturing jobs home, invest in education and clean energy and protect Medicare and Social Security. And it's time to end tax breaks for the rich and time for the wealthiest to start paying their fair share."
