AUGUSTA, Maine — Gov. Paul LePage says Maine is a leader in helping businesses to succeed.
During a National Governors Association conference last weekend in Washington, LePage says he connected with other governors to see how they’re tackling issues. A major focus was entrepreneurs and how their success can drive the economy. In his weekly radio address, LePage says he found out that Maine “is ahead of the curve.”
He points to the state’s team of business development experts and streamlined regulations. But he says fuel prices remain a big worry.
They’re also a concern among Democrats. In their response, state Sen. Phil Bartlett of Gorham says lawmakers must address the crisis of cost and dependence on fossil fuel.
Bartlett says LePage is wrong to abolish renewable energy incentives and funding for energy efficiency programs.
He is confusing ” Ahead of the curve” with ” Out of the loop”
{ In his weekly radio address, LePage says he found out that Maine “is ahead of the curve.”}
Wow!
Maybe thats why he didn’t go to dinner at the Whitehouse!
It seems as though Obama and Baldacci had already covered that base, without the “Open For Buisness Sign” by appointing competent people rather than cronies!

Oh yeah..she’s really competent. Family connections AND never owned a business..lets make her head of the SBA. Only in Obamaland would something that stupid happen.
btw, I appreciated very much your comment ie ‘the Gulf of Maine’ extending outside the boundaries of the state of Maine.
I got it!
Thanks!
Mr. penguin must be a big fan of Cab Calloway. He’s talking “ragtime.”
Hey Squirrelly, get a life!!!!
22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’
23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Laughed until you split a gut ?
If not, what is YOUR point ?
So, where’s the jobs? Please don’t tout the 150 manual skilled labor jobs at C-Bro. That would be like claiming I saved the eggs when dropping a dozen and one didn’t break. I think the out of hte loop comment is pretty close!
Obama has been in office three years already and has done zilch for job creation, while LePage has been in office about one year. Are you sure you’re barking up the right tree? LePage feels he is putting Maine on the right track. We will see if he is right two years from now.
Obama has created over a million jobs, LePage has lost jobs.
Notice that it’s Mr. LePage from whom this “Ahead of the curve” comment came from. It’s funny how easily Paul finds it to promote his own misguided doings all the while being nothing short of hateful in every way towards Maine: Students, Labor, Educators, Poor, Sick, Injured, Elderly, and MAINE itself which he’s broadcasting (Selling to outsiders?) as a “Welfare State.” For those reasons I’m planning on giving him a big present next November. Getting rid of every GOP/Tea Party member running for office. That way Paul won’t even have them around to share the spotlight with. He’ll be in psychopath heaven!
How to spot a Psychopath? I’d say that Paul hits all six of these qualifiers. WARNING, don’t look if you’re not fully prepared to face the reality of what it means to live in Maine right now.

I’ll be sure to note your civility StillEXLAXIN the next time some poor politician gets shot and your on here waxing about the need for decency. Nothing worse than a hypocrite.
Hypocritical? What are you talking about countyguy2010? How the heck did you take this conversation into the realm of shooting politicians? That’s just strange. Although it does make it clearer to me as to why you’d be a LePage supporter.
Guys like you SR expose the left for what it really is. Your the first out of the box to call someone a psychopath but when called on it, you resort to calling the actions of those who point it out as strange. I feel badly for you, you must have a miserable life to have to come on here and demean and belittle people all the time. Its a shame.
Hmm… I think you’re confused between my attacks on politicians who display unethical, stupid or psychopathic behaviors and those attacks (Really just constant deflections from the topic at hand) folks like you perform here everyday against citizens.
Politicians work for us, are paid by us and supposedly represent us. When they don’t, they deserve and expect to receive a certain amount of scorn from the public. CITIZENS who come here to share deserve a much higher level of respect. Hateful people who come here to talk off topic and make personal attacks against other’s comments here should feel very grateful that I have this viewpoint as it often protects them from my actual thoughts. Yes, that puts me at a disadvantage here but I’d rather be hamstrung as such than to ever be considered comparable to the likes of say…you.
How to spot a psychopath? Paul hits all six of these qualifiers. If the shoe fits he shall have to wear it and we’ll have to bear it, at least until 2014.

See guys, that’s how he rolls. Makes some hateful comment, gets called on it and then resorts to demeaning attacks (you need to read, open up your mind etc) I’ve seen him do it a hundred times. Obviously he is compensating for inadequacies by attacking the oppositions intellect and critical thinking. Of course he’s been indoctrinated by the leftist tradition of demeaning the opposition by just such methods so you can’t truly blame him.
You are no ‘Maineah’, pal.
You don’t even know what it means!
So says the guy from New York with the fake downeaster accent.
I was born here and I am no ‘guy’.
I just happen to know what I am talking about, unlike you, AND I am female. Tough!
So much for your ‘crack’ observation skills, pal!
Thanks for playing, now do me and the rest of us all a favor and ‘fly away’.
Ayah…..
You sound about as real of a Mainer as that chick from Murder She Wrote.
Your a woman? Gee from the way you sound from the postings I always figured you for one of those 200lb out of state biker dudes with big tats and leather chaps. LOL.
You must be a psychologist for such an astute diagnosis. From following your posts, Id say you hit five of them.
You sure edited tons. Reflection of a poor liberal educational system
Notice how he edited his comments. You pointing out his hypocrisy must have had some sort of minimal effect on him. I bet it lasts less than 24 hours though, he’s a typical cool aid drinker.
Yes, I forgot to mention (And added) that Mr. LePage called us a Welfare State. The only effect countryguy’s comment had on me was to confuse me and creep me out a bit. Businesses are sure to come rushing into a state filled with lazy no good employees and students who are poorly educated. Yep, that’s how Paulie is selling us to the rest of the country/world. Quite the salesmen, huh? With him at the helm our reputation as hardworking people and as a wonderful place/State to set up a business or visit for a summer vacation is going right into the dumpster.
Sorry, SR, you were caught with your intellectual pants down on this one. It would be in your best interests to just move on.
You “people” should give your craniums a rest and lay off the Faux News tea for a few day’s. Reports have indicated that reality can return after 48 hours of detoxification in %24 of reported case’s of Faux’ News dementia. The rest of the test group required a frontal lobotomy.
Once again, another left winger going off and name calling. The just can’t help themselves. It’s all they have since they can’t win the argument the old fashioned way.
How long before you haul out the re-education camps?
Glad someones doing good*cough* because he she isn’t looking out for the poor. Guess he has short term memory and doesn’t remember when he had NOTHING!!!!!
LDS. (LePage Derangement Syndrome) is a helluva way to go through life son.
LePAGE DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: Malady most appropriately attributed to conservatives who support, believe, and repeat often any sad or hateful thing they hear out of the mouth of Paul LePage.
CURE: Opening eyes, ears, and mind (i.e. Waking Up!)
Lepage…he lives in StillRelaxing’s head.
Hey, I got a cure for the LDS blues that you have…read some good books and turn off MSNBC and stop visiting the propaganda pages at Huff Post. Bet you can’t do it though.
BTW, speaking of politicians, I see the guy all of you liberals would like to forget about is still around.

Now that’s a guy you probably like isn’t it Mr. Relaxing?
You sound like you’re part of the “enlightened crowd” that follows Messiah Obama. Three years gone by and the Messiah has not yet delivered on the economy except for a litany of failed policies.
Because the republican house majority has blocked him at every juncture. They’ve been doing it for over a year now to make his policies appear ineffective, while they gear up for an election that’s still months away. They’re not doing the peoples work, they’re stonewalling. That’s why Snowe ( a repub.) is quitting. He can’t deliver on anything because whether it’s good or bad the republican house stops him. The GOP is just becoming more and more disgusting. They’ve created a conspiracy to derail the president, no matter the cost to the american public. Open your eyes and mind.
Obama had a rare two-year window of opportunity to pass all the legislation he wanted with a filibuster-proof majority in both houses on his side. So what did he do? He focused his efforts on divisive social issues (eliminating Don’t-Ask-Don’t-Tel, Obamacare, civilian trials for Guantanamo war crime inmates, promoting unrealistic green projects, increased social spending, etc.) rather than real jobs and the economy for which he was elected. Obama has no one to blame but himself for the failed economy.
If we’re so ahead of the curve then where are all these entrepreneurs????
Ahead of the curve? I own three businesses and have NEVER had the state of Maine help me in any way. The only thing the state does is tax businesses to death.
Ya know I just can’t help but think LePage is the most unqualified man to date to be a governor of any state. His views are so far right of Mainers and the fact that he feels the need to check with other far right Governors to instill policy for Maine is ridiculous beyond the pale! RECALL HIM MAINERS BEFORE HE RUINS THE GREAT STATE OF MAINE AND SETS YOU ALL BACK 50 YEARS!
Make that 150 years.
Well…this is a good thing. Business Friendly ME is not. Anything will help!
Really?
Wow!
Sounds more like a whole lotta wishful thinking and patting one’s self on the back, ne’st ce pas?
Obama 2012
Lepage ate a lobster in Florida and it wasn’t from Maine, Lepage meet with some people and found out we are ahead of the curve, Lepage talked to some Japanese businessmen and discovered energy is expensive……… Lepage did all this before he woke up.
Yup Maine is number ONE in the couuntry for the lowest paying slave jobs. Thanks LePage.
