He said he hoped that the trail would add beauty and health to the Katahdin region. “We have gone through a lot of tough times in the region in the last 10 or 20 years, but we’ve come through them because we work ...
Michaud Aims to Close Military’s Sweatshop Sneaker Loophole
U.S. Representative Michael Michaud sent a letter to President Barack Obama and sponsored legislation to end the U.S. military’s use of sweatshop shoes. As Michaud explained in his letter, the Department of Defense has recently begun sneaking around the rule that its sneakers must be made in the USA by shuffling money to members of the military for them to purchase required sneakers on their own: The Berry Amendment stipulates that DOD cannot procure food or clothing, among other items, unless the item is grown or produced in the U.S. Congress first established this domestic ...
