International Jobs Come to Maine - Gov. Paul LePage

More jobs are coming to Maine as a result of climate change and the hard work that Gov. Paul LePage has done with an Icelandic shipping company. This is a huge win for the state because of its strategic location and is the only port of call for this international company - Eimskip. So important is the state that back in May the President Olafur Ragnar Grimmson of Iceland made a personal trip to Maine and spoke in South Portland about newly opened shipping lanes and how they would benefit Maine.

Gov, Paul LePage echoed those comments.

While the jobs are welcome to Maine - politics are creeping in to spoil what should be celebrated. Michael Michaud feels it is better to criticize Gov. LePage for a choice of words. Is Michaud really for people or politics? Gov LePage has been working for Maine - what has Michaud done for the state?

Maine was recently in the Red as were most states back in 2009 as can be seen in the Map below.

Since that time Maine has had a turn around. In 2010 Maine said enough of the economic policies of the past that had kept the state down. Governor Paul LePage was elected and the rest has been economic history. Having a businessman in office has helped the state thrive and Maine is one of the few states leading the nation with economic growth. Actions do Speak Louder than Words.
