LePage told WVOM on Tuesday that it’d be “silliness” to face lawmakers a couple of weeks after some of them tried to impeach him. He said, “I’ll send them a letter and call it a day.”

It was unclear if LePage was serious. The address hasn’t been scheduled.

A group of Democrats plans to press for an investigation that could lead to impeachment when the House convenes on Thursday. They’ve accused LePage of abuse of power. A spokeswoman for the governor has called the claims “frivolous.”
