(Gov.) LePage aide denies bid to politicize employees (LePage - Teabagger/lying sack, Maine)
http://www.pressherald.com/news/lepage-aide-denies-bid-to-politicize-employees_2011-01-28.html

Democrats and state workers are upset about a leaked strategy memo from a top aide of Gov. Paul LePage that linked state workers with overt political activity.

The memo was written by Dan Demeritt, LePage's communications director and legislative liaison, in December, before LePage was sworn into office. It was posted Thursday on the liberal blog www.dirigoblue.com.

In the e-mail to top Republican lawmakers and members of LePage's inner circle, Demeritt outlined a plan for retaining Republican legislative majorities and pledged commitment from LePage's office to help that happen.

In the closing line, he wrote, "Once we take office, Paul will put 11,000 bureaucrats to work getting Republicans re-elected."
