  1. Part of the responsibilities of a governor is to participate in such events, ceremonial though they may be. It is right and fitting that he do this, especially given his public stand against domestic violence. I may not agree with much that LePage says or does, but I have to respect what he is doing in this instance.

  2. Ha-What a Hoot!  If this article was about a Dem. or Independent…would it be 10 times longer?

    It would go through great lenths explaining what they have on their iphone 5, what they ate for breakfast and how hip they are. It would keep talking about sweet things in life and the light that blinds everyone when they walk down a street. 

     Plz the next time you write about our Gov. Lepage use braille. It will have more to say on my laptop than this article.

  3. It’s not up to him to ‘proclaim’ it, this is an event that would be held whether he was there or not.
