Maine folks, I hope you realize how fortunate we are in these hard times to have a governor who cares for our state and its people. That man is Paul LePage.
He has:
• Lowered our income taxes.
• Uncovered fraud in state government and is working hard to eliminate it.
• “Declared war” on domestic violence.
• Paid back the huge bill the state owed our hospitals, ignored by previous governors.
• Reduced the welfare caseload by 41 percent. If present trends were to continue, Maine would, very soon, have more welfare recipients than private-sector workers. Widespread fraud causes this. Less fraud equals more money for the people who really need welfare.
• Ensured better lives for Maine people.
• Ensured sound financial status for our state.
• Created an attractive atmosphere for new and existing businesses.
• Preserved, protected and defended the Maine and U.S. constitutions.
I encourage you, Maine folks, to re-elect Republican Gov. Paul LePage.
