Gov. Paul LePage handles town hall protest with ease
Source: Sun Journal
LEWISTON Gov. Paul LePage spent more than an hour and 20 minutes with about 100 Twin Cities' residents Wednesday, in a conversation that touched on everything from taxes to his possible political options.
LePage even gingerly handled a group of college students, including some from Bates and Bowdoin, who briefly interrupted his town hall-style meeting at the Ramada Inn and Conference Center, when they rose in unison holding signs that read, "LePage Maine's Shame."
"They must be rich college kids," LePage said as the group was escorted from the banquet hall by his staff and security.
Last week, LePage appeared more irked and resorted to calling a pair of University of Maine at Farmington students "idiots" when they held similar signs during a silent protest on that campus.

yup
Plus why is the LSJ giving him credit for handling protesters like an adult politician rather than like a petulant child?

(41,760 posts)and all questions to him at those town halls are screened - and only politically correct questions are answered.
It's at complete odds with true local Town Hall meetings in Maine.
A Potemkin Village Charade.
