Recording reveals LePage has plan to call special session to push through legislation
http://thetippingpoint.bangordailynews.com/2012/08/16/state-politics/recording-reveals-lepage-has-secret-plan-for-special-session/At a Republican-only event at the Sea Dog brew pub in Bangor last night, Governor Paul LePage revealed that he has a secret plan to call the Legislature back into a special session before the November election in order to enact a policy that will “push the envelope.”
LePage said he could not divulge what the legislative action would be as he was still working with the Attorney General’s office to make sure it was constitutional, saying only that “other Republican states have done this” and that “If we get this done, the State of Maine will be on the right track for the next ten years.”
