The commission recently underwent a significant overhaul and includes the chief economist from the Maine Heritage Policy Center (edit: morans), a conservative advocacy group.

Dwight serves on the policy center's board of advisers and his family has been a consistent contributor to the Maine Republican (edit: moran) Party.
