Isnāt that quaintā¦just what youād expect from being married to that fat-ass tightwad. Maybe heāll go along with an increase in the minimum wage in Maine nowā¦
I was about to post my exasperation at this story being here at all - but connecting it to minimum wage support negates some of my annoyance.
You thought it made her look good, huh? The little woman going off to work a humble pink collar job? Hah, marby. You know better. Thereās always a catch whenever any Republican is involved. Minimum wage just happens to be the most obvious unreported irony concerning this story.
Actually, I didnāt think it made her look good at all. I thought it made both LePages look phony - trying to identify as part of the āpoor working folksā that they are happy to fleece with their policies. The TPM story seemed to me to be giving them some credibility which is what irritated me.
Thatās what I meant actually. I guess I didnāt make that clear in my response.
got it . . . .I should have realized neither of us would support the idea that LePage was reasonable or empathetic.
hmmmmm - lowest paid governor? Well you get what you pay for!
Is it just me? I read this story and my first reaction was āsheās leaving himā.
Ok he makes 70k, he does not pay rent, food, etc because the taxpayers pick that up. I wish i made $40K
Thatās probably the best tip sheāll get.
Probably getting more than the minimum wage as no one will tip her . /s
