Maine Governor LePage Hints At Special Session

Gov. Paul LePage is hinting that he'll call a special legislative session this fall to bring up an undisclosed issue, but says it will "push the envelope."
The Republican governor's comments were recorded at a GOP event in Bangor on Wednesday night and appeared Thursday in political columnist Mike Tipping's blog. In it, LePage says he has a plan to call lawmakers into special session but said the legislation he's looking at is being reviewed by the attorney general.
While not divulging the topic, LePage says it's what a lot of other Republican states have done.
“I think we can get it done in about a day and the Democrats, if you think they hate me now… Wow,” LePage says on the recording.
Democratic leaders say the governor should make his "secret plans" for a special session public. Rep. Emily Cain of Orono says LePage "is making partisan political threats and keeping the public in the dark."

Definitely NOT a Conservative or a Republican. I litterally had to look at my browser to double check the website I was one thinking I was on Usenet Political forums or Twitter.
I mean there's a big difference from the appearance of Twitter and FR but that comment actually made me look up and check.
I was going to check her posting history to see exactly where she stood on issues after that comment. Governor LePage is a Tea Party supported Governor.

This Governor continues to treat the people of Maine like they are morons. His methods and philosophy sicken me This is a conservative website. We love what Gov. LePage has been able to reform.
Decades of liberal mismanagement had Maine in deep stagnation and on course for economic disaster.
If Maine will follow LePage's lead, the state will truly become "Open for Business" and stop driving young people and entrepreneurs and jobs out of state.

Snowgirl didn’t even get a purple “banned or suspended” page. Just a “page does not exist on this server” white page.

Q&D = Queer and Dyke
It is sometimes written Q&D’s
The acronym is a substitute for LGBT
