Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) said that “he plans to move to Florida for tax reasons and teach at a university there regardless of who Mainers elect to succeed him,” the Portland Press Herald reports.
Said Page: “I’ll be a resident of Florida if Janet Mills wins, I can promise you that… I’ll also be in Florida if Shawn Moody wins because I am going to retire and go to Florida.”
He added: “I am done with politics. I have done my eight years. It’s time for somebody else.”
