In this Feb. 3, 2015 file photo, Gov. Paul LePage delivers his State of the State address to the Legislature at the State House in Augusta. In 2016, LePage didn’t offer a speech but submitted a State of the State letter to the Legislature.

AUGUSTA — Maine’s Republican governor is set to discuss the elderly in a formal address after a one-year hiatus from the longstanding tradition.

The State of the State address is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Gov. Paul LePage says he’ll bring in elderly residents who have been thrown out of their homes along with individuals with mental illnesses.

The governor says his final two-year budget proposal protects the elderly from economic harm caused by initiatives he believes voters didn’t understand.

Last year, LePage decided against a traditional address and instead sent the Legislature a letter that attacked “socialists” and said lawmakers were more beholden to egoism and lobbyists than the Maine people.

But in a shift, LePage has invited Republicans and Democrats over to the Blaine House residence after Tuesday’s address. On Monday, he said he’d have his administration officials answer lawmakers’ questions if “civility returns.”
