To the Editor:
Following up on a previous letter in which I discussed the subject of “the Official Maine Dessert,” I conducted an informal, written poll at S. Fernald’s Country Store, asking staff and customers to choose between the Whoopie Pie and the Blueberry Pie or neither.
I am pleased to report that of the 28 votes cast, there were two votes for the first, 25 votes for the second, and one for the last.
Insofar as the Maine legislature has opted for the Whoopie Pie, these results suggest that our representatives are out of touch with their constituencies, on this issue at least. Let’s presume they do better on others.
