Who’s better for Maine, Paul LePage or Janet Mills?
It’s not often voters get the chance to compare two experienced governors running against each other, let alone two governors who both faced serious economic upheaval. To answer the question, “Who’s better for Maine?” the economic policy experts at MECEP Action (the political and advocacy arm of Maine Center for Economic Policy) looked at 12 years of policy on eight key issues. What’s below is just the highlights. We encourage all Maine voters to head over to Maine Behind the Numbers to see the full story!
