LePage: I’m not done with Angus King
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=post&forum=1002In comments at the Orono-Old Town Kiwanis Club on Tuesday evening, the governor lashed out at independent U.S. Sen. Angus King, criticizing the former governor for his private dealings in the energy sector, which LePage said have benefited King to the tune of more than $100 million.
Hat tip to BDN reporter Abigail Curtis for capturing these comments.
“He ripped us off royally,” said LePage. “I can’t wait until 2018. I think that’s the guy I’m going to go after.”
Is LePage planning a run for the U.S. Senate? That seems to be what he’s suggesting, though let’s remember he has made similar claims before including during appearances on the Howie Carr show. And this isn’t the first time he’s singled out King.
