10/7/11 - Childish
Childish.
10.7.11
So, in case you haven't heard, Sen. Troy Jackson (D-Aroostook) has been doggedly fighting for policy that helps Maine loggers find more work. His efforts have been staunchly opposed by several interests - the rough argument being that there are not enough Maine loggers and the Canadian loggers are less pricey. Recently, Sen. Jackson has been seeking a meeting with Governor LePage to discuss these issues face-to-face. Since GOP control in Augusta has already been an exercise in can-you-top-this insults to Aroostook County, LePage knows he needs to be careful on this issue.
But not too careful. You see, rather than just schedule a meeting like a normal politician, LePage rarely passes up a chance to turn something innocuous into a self-infliceted wound. So, what do you imagine LePage did to transform scheduling a meeting into a blood fued? He scheduled it at 6 AM on a Friday morning in Augusta. I really can't remember anything so petty in Maine politics...
