Once again, Gov. Paul LePage shows his ignorance and disrespect by refusing to meet with the president while attending the Governors Association meetings in Washington, D.C.

Even as seven Republican governors agree to expand Medicaid, LePage chooses to stick to his rigid ideology and refuses to help the Maine people.

Part of the problem was corrected by electing a Democrat-controlled Legislature in November.

Hopefully, the remainder of the problem can be corrected by sending the governor to Florida permanently in November 2014.
