AUGUSTA — It turns out the Maine GOP didn’t run up a huge tab from the Augusta Civic Center for keeping the lights on after the convention ran late.
GOP Chairman Charlie Webster warned Ron Paul activists who took over the weekend convention that the civic center agreement called for wrapping up by 6 p.m. Sunday. Instead, the convention continued at least two hours beyond that before breaking up.
Civic Center Director Dana Colwill said today that the bill will be $300 or less for overtime for workers who stayed to the end.
The convention was a messy affair with repeated delays as Paul supporters and Mitt Romney supporters argued over rules of order. Some party members passed the hat to collect donations to pay the civic center.
