Race is something most of us would rather not talk about, says Tierney, a Lisbon resident who lives part time in New York City, where he is director of the National State Attorneys General Program at Columbia Law School. But the consequences of not talking about it would be much worse for Maine. “I really understand why we do not talk about race. I have lived here all of my life, and the truth is that we like things the way they are,” he said. “While we may like Maine this way, we are on an unsustainable path, and being a leader means talking about unavoidable and, perhaps to some, unpleasant realities.”
