SCARBOROUGH, Maine (AP) - Republican Les Otten says he wants to be Maine's "job creator in chief."
Otten made the statement Monday as he formally threw his hat into the ring for governor. He joins a field of at least 10 others who've announced their intentions to run for the Blaine House.
Otten launched American Skiing Co. and served as a part-owner of the Boston Red Sox. He also chaired Gov. John Baldacci's Wood to Energy Task Force. He is former owner of Sunday River Ski Resort.
