Lawmaker Says LePage Needs Professional Help

Maine state Rep. Drew Gattine (D) is not looking for an apology from Gov. Paul LePage (R) after the governor left him a profanity-laced tirade on voicemail and later challenged the Democratic lawmaker to a duel, Politico reports.

He just wants him to seek professional help.

Said Gattine: “I think Maine people are getting extremely concerned after six years and these kind of escalating events with respect to our governor that he is now at the point where he isn’t fit to be governor, that he really probably needs to get some sort of professional help and that as a state, we’re not going to be able to solve our problems, including this very serious problem we have with heroin under the leadership of this governor. And you know, we’re just concerned that we can’t move our state forward with this man as our governor.”
