Gov. Paul LePage says Maine needs a new form of government

AUGUSTA — Maine needs “to start taking a hard look at other forms of government,” Gov. Paul LePage said Tuesday.

“There’s so much gridlock in government that our government no longer works,” the governor told Bangor-based WVOM radio during his regular weekly broadcast.

“I’m one of the ones who believes that the two-party system is broken,’ LePage said, “and I do believe that we’re probably going to be heading for a constitutional convention to fix our government.

I personally think the republican party will destroy itself in the next four years. Once the young voters get their pay cuts lose most of their benefits and the interest rate on their existing cards go to 30% . their parents lose their houses because of the failed Ryan healthcare plan(or its clone) and a major oil spill ruins several water supplies they may realize they been taken.
duh bush voted for gun control ;duh the Brady bill was for REAGAN'S MAN; AND THE REPUBLICANS CLAIMED THEY WERE FOR GUNS WHEN THEY GOT CHARLTON HESTON PICKED FOR HEAD OF THE LEADING GUN GROUP (NRA)-THAT IS WHEN I LEFT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
