A sad day for many of us Mainers and others who care about locally-run businesses. Despite the assertions that things will remain the same, Colgate doesn't buy companies because they like their mission statements, or because of their commitment to community and volunteerism.
Just another casualty in globalism's steamroll over all things local.
