Maine's Gov. Paul "Flinstone" LePage Exempts Himself from Pension Cuts
Republicans lawmakers across the country have attacked public employees, cutting their wages, slashing their pensions and, in some cases, eliminating their bargaining rights.They all preach the need for fiscal austerity and budget belt-tightening.
In Maine, Gov, Paul LePage is neither practicing what he preaches nor tightening his belt. Even state employees are being forced to pay more in contributions for their pensions, one isnt: LePage. He exempted himself from the new pension formula, reports Mike Tipping in the Kennebec Journal.
