On Tuesday night, Gov. LePage surprised Kennebunk residents by showing up at a joint meeting of our Board of Selectmen and the Kennebunk Light & Power District Board of Trustees.
The purpose of the meeting was to address dam relicensing on the Mousam River. Gov. LePage wasted valuable agenda time giving what appeared to be an extemporaneous, rambling speech that included irrelevancies on EBT cards and drug busts. His rant on federal government overreach was predictable and oh-so-tired.
Mainers should be aware that their governor opted to cast aside a night of working on pressing state business in Augusta for meddling in a town’s business. It was offensive and inappropriate of him to voice partisan opinion at what was supposed to be a composed evening of fact-finding on a contentious issue.
