MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • May 1, 2022
Paul LePage’s eight-year tenure as governor was filled with catastrophic failures on the issues Maine people care about most. He did little to protect Maine’s environment, vetoing a wide range of attempts to combat the climate crisis, while simultaneously launching an “assault” on Maine’s environmental protections and encouraging offshore drilling. During his tenure, Maine dropped from the eighth-healthiest state in the nation to 16th. Under LePage, Maine ranked 49th in job growth. He proposed cutting millions from public education funding. Paul LePage’s tenure in office was an abject failure on issue after issue. ~ Drew Gattine, chair, Maine Democratic Party
