Latest Paul LePage missive could trigger 18,000 new pen pals for governor

AUGUSTA – In the latest in a series of handwritten messages Maine's Republican Gov. Paul LePage denies he's among a group of plaintiffs suing President Barack Obama.

"I believe you mistake me for someone else," LePage wrote in his note to Murshed Zaheed, an activist with the national group CREDO Action. "I do not have a lawsuit against President Obama. I did file a lawsuit against illegal immigrants taking state money against state and federal laws."

The latest note from LePage surfaced after Murshed posted it along with a copy of Murshed's handwritten note back to LePage pointing out that the suit in question doesn't name illegal immigrants as a defendant either.

"Though I realize you've been very busy with a lawsuit by House Speaker Mark Eves, legislative investigations, and possible impeachment, I was still surprised to learn that you are unaware of the lawsuit you filed on December 9, 2014," Murshed wrote.
