WTH? LePuke fires Dr. Mills from her new job as head of Mainecare?

Does anyone have any info beyond the BDN article? This is not good.

Thanks

2. According to my wife she's a sweet person, but no pushover.

Sounds like LePage thought he'd have an easy time strong-arming her. Guess not. Anyways, I think there may be a broader issue if he can fire a legislative appointment. I hope the whole mess gets exposed and e-mails released. I have no doubt that LePage will prove, yet again, he's a buffoon and not fit for the office.

5. That's for sure!

I know her in a professional capacity and she's got balls 'o steel when she needs them. I hope the whole thing comes out in the wash, I can't think of anyone else in Maine that has a handle on the public health needs better than her.

4. She's a friend.

Whatever went down (and I haven't heard from her), I'm sure that it was for good reason on her part. I will congratulate her for disassociating herself from that disgrace so quickly!

6. Absolutely! She's not one to compromise her principles.

I just wish she could have stayed around. If anyone had a hope of doing something meaningful with Mainecare, it was Dr. Mills.

7. How did this dirtbag get elected in Maine?

I know how these things happen in Texas, but I get even more discouraged when crap like this starts happening in states that I think of as liberal. :(
