A Maine lawmaker's bill that would allow doctors to assist the terminally ill in killing themselves didn't get a positive recommendation from a key legislative committee this week, signaling that efforts to legalize doctor-assisted suicide in the state may be dashed.
According to the Portland Press Herald, the bill's failure to land majority support from members of the Health and Human Services Committee — coupled with Republican Governor Paul LePage's vow to veto the measure should it reach his desk — has not prompted the bill's lead sponsor to abandon lobbying efforts.
He's brash, blunt and opinionated, traits that the CEO and founder of Silent Partner Marketing freely acknowledges.
Thus, telling people what they want to hear — as opposed to the straight truth Kyle Reyes thinks they deserve to hear — is not something Reyes is known for.
