PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Republican Gov. Paul LePage is coming under attack for displaying wanted posters targeting environmentalists, unions and others at his latest town hall-style meeting, where he sparred with critics and gave one of them a sarcastic "buh-bye" as the protester was escorted from the building.
The three posters targeted the Maine People's Alliance, which is behind a referendum to increase the minimum wage; Natural Resources Council of Maine, an environmental advocacy group; and labor organization Maine ALF-CIO. The posters appeared at a town hall event Thursday night at a high school in Bath, about 25 miles from Portland.
WORCESTER – When President Barack Obama becomes the first sitting U.S. commander-in-chief to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge landed on the island in January 1928, he'll be accompanied by Worcester congressman James P. McGovern.
The Democrat announced his traveling plans Thursday in Worcester, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, which reported that McGovern hopes the trip will "cement" America's new relationship with the communist nation.
