The state of the state of Maine

Last spring my wife went to the mid-west to attend a graduation . AT O'Hara she meet other people taking the same flight to Portland when they found she lived in Maine the first question was what's with your governor. She sort of slid by the subject and said I won't admit to being a native if I travel again. That was last spring. This morning the front page of the Waterville Sentinel had an article on the governor possibly being reprimanded or even impeached for misuse of power. This little tidbit was followed by a move to subpoena officials at the department of human services. Every day it seems like the governor or his staff has maybe over stepped the line some where. It is really sad when you must explain why your state government is in shambles. What is even harder is to justify why he was elected to a second term.
