Meet Maine's New Governor.
In case you haven't heard about this guy before, his name will stick in
your mind! The new Maine Governor, Paul Le Page is making New
Jersey's Chris Christie look like an enabler. He isn't afraid to say what he
thinks. Judging by the comments, every time he opens his mouth, his
popularity goes up.
He brought down the house at his inauguration when he shook his fist
toward the media box and said, "You're on notice! I've inherited a financially-
troubled State to run. Observe...cover what we do...but don't whine if I don't
waste time responding to your every whim for your amusement."
During his campaign for Governor, he was talking to commercial fishermen
who are struggling because of federal fisheries rules. They complained that
0bama brought his family to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park for a long
Labor Day holiday and found time to meet with union leaders, but wouldn't talk
to the fishermen. LePage replied, "I'd tell him to go to hell and get out of my
State." The Lame Stream Media crucified LePage, but he jumped 6 points in
the pre-election poll.
The Martin Luther King incident was a political sandbag which brought him
National exposure. The 'lame stream' media crucified him, but word on the street
is very positive. The NAACP specifically asked LePage to spend MLK Day
visiting black inmates at the Maine State Prison. He told them that he would
meet with ALL inmates, regardless of race, if he were to visit the prison. The
NAACP balked and then put out a news release claiming falsely that he refused
to participate in any MLK events. He read it in the paper for the 1st time the next
morning while being driven to an event and went ballistic because none of the
reporters had called him for comment before running the NAACP release.
He arrived at that event & said in front of a TV camera, "If they want to play
the race card on me they can kiss my ass", and he reminded them that he has
an adopted black son from Jamaica and that he attended the local MLK
Breakfast every year that he was mayor of Waterville. (He started his morning
there on MLK Day.)
He then stated that there's a right way and a wrong way to meet with the
Governor, and he put all special interests on notice that press releases, media
leaks, and all demonstrations would prove to be the wrong way. He said any
other group which acted like the NAACP could expect to be at the bottom of
the Governor's priority list!
He then did the following, and judging from local radio talk show callers, his
popularity increased even more: The State employees union complained because
he waited until 3 P.M. before closing State offices and facilities and sending
non-emergency personnel home during the last blizzard. The prior Governor would
often close offices for the day with just a forecast before the first flakes. (Each time
the State closes for snow, it costs the taxpayers about $1 million in wages for no
work in return.)
LePage was CEO of the Marden's chain of discount family bargain retail
stores before election as governor.
He noted that State employees getting off work early could still find lots of retail
stores open to shop. So, he put the State employees on notice by announcing:
"If Marden's is open, Maine is open!"
He told State employees: "We live in Maine in the winter, for heaven's sake,
and should know how to drive in it. Otherwise, apply for a State job in Florida!"
Governor LePage symbolizes what America needs; Refreshing politicians who
aren't self-serving and who exhibit common sense!
You have only the rights you are willing to fight for!
