LePage says Maine will lose up to 1,500 jobs this summer
Source: Bangor Daily News
BIDDEFORD, Maine — Gov. Paul LePage upped his estimate of how many jobs will be lost in Maine in the coming months to as many as 1,500.
LePage’s comments, made during a public town hall meeting Tuesday at Biddeford High School, came about two weeks after he generated days of headlines by claiming a southern Maine company was about to shed 900 jobs. LePage later clarified that it would be two companies. He didn’t provide any new details Tuesday other than the higher number.
“This summer, we’re going to lose between 1,200 and 1,500 more jobs,” LePage told a crowd of about 80. “Every single job we’re talking about are jobs that get paid above the per-capita median.”
The comment came as LePage broke from his previous pattern at his town halls and opened Tuesday’s meeting with his assessment of the legislative session that is near its end. Barring a special session, the Legislature will return for one more day on April 29 to vote whether to sustain however many vetoes LePage signs between now and then.

"there were two hecklers, including one who has attended several and been asked to leave. It caused LePage to compare himself to the rock band the Grateful Dead.
“The Grateful Dead had a lot of people who followed them around called groupies,” said LePage. “I have two groupies here tonight. I might have even more.”
That caused one of the hecklers to storm out of the room.
“The moment you compare yourself to Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, I’ve got to get out of here,” he yelled.""
I love Maine.
