MILO, Maine — He hasn’t been sworn in to office yet, but Gov.-elect Paul LePage is already following up on his pledge to talk with Milo officials about their efforts to locate a private prison in the town.
LePage was told during the campaign that without any help from the state, the town had worked two years to persuade the Tennessee-based Corrections Corp. of America, or CCA, to build a prison in the town’s industrial park.
The discussions ended, however, when the state showed little interest in partnering with the company to house state inmates at its facilities because existing law would not allow it.
Hearing about Milo’s efforts, LePage said last month he would do whatever it took to help the town, a promise he began to fulfill Tuesday when he met with Milo and CCA officials to discuss the matter.
