On
September 7, at a citizens forum held the Weathervane Lobster
in the Rough on Badger's Island, Kittery, a legislator asked
Paul LePage how he would pay for replacing the old Memorial
Bridge connecting Maine and New Hampshire given his reluctance
to bond any new projects and his determination to cut taxes
at the same time. Here is LePage's answer: "There are some
programs in the state where we have a lot of overhead, a lot
of state workers, that generate no good for the state, and we're
going to remove them."
Maine
people have a right to know exactly which state programs and
which state workers he would do away with in order to pay for
keeping our bridges safe. Ask LePage to release his list of
programs and workers he would "remove." See
his comments for yourself at 11:22 in this video.
