LePage Orders Aides Not to Talk to Newspapers

Maine Gov. Paul LePage’s (R) administration “will no longer comment in stories published by the Portland Press Herald, the Kennebec Journal and the Morning Sentinel,” the Portland Press Herald reports.

“The new policy follows the newspapers’ publication of a three-day series of articles this week examining LePage’s top environmental regulator and how her department’s actions have benefited her former lobbying clients in private industry.”
