LePage says he might retire outside Maine because of tax hike, other ballot initiatives
Source: Portland Press Herald
On Tuesday, Gov. Paul LePage railed against a new voter-approved tax surcharge on wealthy residents that he argued is driving away professionals and harming the economy.
In fact, LePage even suggested the tax hike and other ballot initiatives could drive him out of Maine after leaving office.
“I want to see Maine prosper and I would love nothing more to retire here in Maine, but the way things are going with Maine People’s Alliance and all of these referendums that come up, I am going to be forced out of the state like everybody else,” LePage said during his weekly appearance on a Bangor radio station.
The tax surcharge was just one topic in a wide-ranging interview on WVOM that touched on LePage’s views on the Trump administration, Medicaid spending and potential economic threats to Maine’s lobster fishery.
