The bully in the Blaine House has held hostage bonds that were approved by Maine voters in 2010 and 2012. That is not the act of a person who compromises; it is the act of a bully.

In 2014, the Maine Legislature did not send the governor back the budget as submitted by him. Instead, they sent him a budget that took in the voice of the people.

Many of the towns and cities that the legislators represented objected to the drastic cuts to revenue sharing as submitted by the governor. The governor vetoed that budget and sent it back to the legislators for them to do over.

LePage refused to submit any alternative budget proposal. Instead, he let the budget that the Legislature resubmitted (overturning his veto), become law without his signature.

This year, he has again submitted a budget that cuts revenue sharing and also calls for income tax cuts. Once again, towns and cities are objecting to the cuts in revenue sharing.

Maine has not recovered the lost revenue from the governor’s last income tax cut, so why would residents want to do that again?

LePage wants everything his way or not at all. That is not the action of a person who would compromise; it is the act of the bully in the Blaine House.
