To: Paul LePage, Governor of Maine
Gov. LePage: Stay out of the Legislature's Way
The people of Maine have flatly rejected your agenda by voting for a new governing majority and a new direction for our state. We urge you to do the right thing and not stand in the Legislature's way.
Why is this important?
Despite being elected by a minority of voters, Governor Paul LePage has consistently refused to listen to the wishes of the people. Instead, he has pursued radical policies that are completely out of touch with Maine's values.
On November 6th, Mainers said "no" to LePage by voting overwhelmingly for candidates opposed to his agenda. But instead of signaling a willingness to work with the newly elected legislature, he's adopted a combative stance, continuing his rhetorical attacks on public schools, unions and green energy.[1]
The people have spoken, and now Gov. LePage must listen. We're calling on him to get out of the way and allow the new legislative majority to do what voters are asking it to do.
