Maine Signs Trade Deal with Cuba

The BBC reports that Maine Governor John Baldacci, "has signed a multi-million dollar trade deal with Cuba's state-run food agency Alimport."

The article also reports that "In 2001, Maine was the first US state to pass a resolution calling for a complete end to the trade and travel ban against the Caribbean nation."

The lengths people would go for a dollar - even cozying up to a repressive, murderous dictator like Castro - never cease to amaze me.
