Once again, Maine’s illustrious governor show his colors, disrespecting both the state and its citizens. By refusing to attend the GOP convention and represent Maine and his party to the best of his ability, he instead acts like a spoiled child, who, not getting his way, takes his toys and goes (stays) home. While I am by no means a fan of Gov. Paul LePage, nor even a Republican, I expect our state to be presented and represented in a positive and professional manner. That seems too much to ask of this man.
