Governor Paul LePage was pressured into accepting federal money for Maine's poor. In the past Augusta would accept the "free" money from the federal government to fund programs that this state would be responsible for and have to raise taxes for. Paul LePage refuses to fall into this trap and leave a legacy of underfunded programs for the people of Maine. Living within the means of the state is an honorable goal to achieve.
From Governor LePage's weekly radio address: "I will say it again: With a national debt of 17 trillion dollars and permanent gridlock in Washington, D.C., we cannot depend on federal money to pay for Maine government. We must learn to live within our means."
Support Governor Paul LePage - like him on Facebook and show support for the Governor - the People's Politician.
