And the winners are…

Last week scores of you registered your support for paid sick days by voting for your favorite fortune. These personalized fortunes will be delivered to legislators in support of L.D. 1665, the paid sick days bill.

Here are the lucky winners (in order of popularity):

1. Healthy workplaces are worth a fortune – support paid sick days.

2. Bring good fortune to Maine’s families with paid sick days.

3. Voting for paid sick days makes your constituents very happy!

4. You will be a part of the solution by supporting paid sick days.

6. Great prosperity will come to those who support paid sick days!

7. Sick workers cost a fortune – support paid sick days!

8. Wishing you and your constituents good health – support paid sick days!

And, of course, the back of each fortune will read: “Your Lucky Number is L.D. 1665.”
