Paul LePage has what it takes to be governor.

If Libby Mitchell has the experience for governor to start from day one, what has she been doing for the past 30 years in the Maine Legislature besides raising taxes on the middle class, adding people to the welfare system and giving millions of dollars to the unions?

If the Democrats say Paul Lepage does not have the experience to be governor, is it because he is a businessman making payroll or the mayor of one of Maine’s larger cities and cut taxes almost every year he has been in office?

We’ll take a private citizen over a career politician any time.
