Wish we had a forward thinking governor like this.
Cuba's state-run food agency, Alimport has cut a deal with Maine's Governor, John Baldacci. Maine will begin to export 20 million dollars worth of seed, potatoes, fish and dairy cattle to Cuba in 2007. Mr Baldacci is the third state governor to travel to the island this year for trade talks. Despite the 40-year trade embargo, food sales to Cuba on a cash basis were approved by Congress in 2000.
