“I am pleased to appoint Richard Rosen as acting commissioner,” said LePage said in a statement. “Richard has served the people of Maine well in every position he has held. While there are big shoes to fill with the retirement of Sawin Millett, I am confident (the department) is in very capable hands.”
During the Republican-controlled 125th Legislature, Rosen was the Senate chairman of the Legislature’s budget-writing committee. He served four terms in the state Senate and three terms in the House prior to joining the LePage administration in 2013.
