Maine state senator: Censure may be in order for governor

Updated 10:14 pm, Sunday, August 28, 2016

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — A Maine state senator says legislative leaders are considering whether to hold a special session to censure the governor following recent controversial remarks.

Republican Sen. Amy Volk told her constituents in a Facebook post Sunday that she shares their "deep concerns" regarding Gov. Paul LePage's behavior.

During a town hall meeting Aug. 24 in North Berwick, the Republican governor said he keeps a three-ringed binder of photos from drug busts, and that 90 percent of the suspects are black or Hispanic.

The following day, LePage left an obscenity-laced phone message for a Democratic state representative, who the governor says called him a racist. LePage later told reporters that he wished he could point a gun between the legislator's eyes.

4. I don't think a thing will happen to him at this stage.

Even though Maine use to be another Massachusetts and New Hampshire a right wing group surrounded in in realist, I think so much has happened in the last 20 years or more, that LePage will not suffer a day.

6. This man has been ranting and raving for the past 6 years

and all that has happened were strongly worded tweets and facebook posts and comments to the media. I have had relatives who lived in Maine and if they are still there, I am sure they are permanently in a position.

7. Lock Him Up

8. Censure, expulsion, involuntary committment to an appropriate institution.

Those 3 things could be done in several different orders. First jail or nuthouse, then censure, then expulsion. Or first impeachment, then nuthouse, then censure. etc. Just hit all the high points, is what's important.
