Be BOLD in the COLD Help protect Maines environment Special thanks to our lead sponsors Do You Want the GLORYGLORY N o v e m b e r 2 0 1 5 8 7 aligned perfectly with what Ive been doing the past 15 years. Has the lawsuit compromised your effectiveness in Augusta Are you treated differently Absolutely not. In fact there has been a real recognition by both Republicans and In- dependents and Democrats in the legis- lature that the Governor crossed a line. If anything it has strengthened the relation- ship within the legislature and our ability to work together. I think its further isolat- ed the Governor and his ability to be effec- tive for our state. Tell us about your education from California to Kentucky to Maine. What family therapy techniques do you think should be used in the Maine legislative family right now IwasborninCaliforniaandwasaboutthree months old when we moved to Oregon for about five years before we moved to Tucson until I was 11. Then we moved to Louisville Kentucky. I went to the University of Lou- isville and graduate school at the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Then my parents retired to Maine so after grad- uate school my wife and I decided to move to Maine to be closer to family and also be- cause of what we knew of Maineall of the recreational activities great public schools small communities. It sounded like a place we wanted to be. We moved here and have fallen in love with it. Weve had three kids in the last 14 years. My background training in marriage and family therapy has been an asset work- ing with the legislature. Its a systemic ap- proach where you look at the impact of not just individual behavior and decisions be- tween two individuals but how that impacts a larger group. Working with committees or the legislative caucus or with coalitions it has really helped me bring a set of skills to the legislature that has been really effective. What does the future hold I plan to stay focused on my job as Speaker until my term is up next year. I keep an open mind and never close doors. Ive loved the time Ive been able to serve in the legislature if there werent term limits I would contin- ue to do this. It really does energize me and I feel very good about the work weve been able to do to address some of the major is- sues. So I dont know. Stay tuned. n Mark Eves continued from page 35
