Last August, then-Gov. Paul LePage had a serious cardiac event in Canada.
Not until the next day did anybody outside his inner circle know hed been out of the country, and it would be more than a month before the public learned he had experienced a medical issue serious enough to require him to be evacuated via LifeFlight to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor.
The New Brunswick trip was one of many out-of-state journeys last year that werent disclosed until after they had been completed. Other trips were never disclosed, including an overnight September stay at the Trump International Hotel to attend a secretive meeting at the White House and a day trip to Montreal from his Florida home to visit executives of Hydro-Quebec.
The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram recently obtained the former governors 2018 calendar and hundreds of pages of travel-related documents via public records requests. The documents shed light on a number of trips the governor took pains to conceal ahead of time, including a trade mission to the Balkan nation of Montenegro that cost Maine taxpayers more than $33,000.
