Report from Maine
August 8, 2012
David R. Kotok
This year’s gathering...in Grand Lake Stream, ME...brought together financial market professionals, economists, traders, academics, Fed advisors.
A highlight...was a...visit by...Paul LePage.
I was particularly impressed by his commitment to manage [Maine]’s debt, reduce debt ratios, pay Maine’s bills in full, and operate its government with a business-like approach.
Maine is a very good muni credit and likely to get better.
[LePage] vows that his state will not be like Illinois.
David R. Kotok, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer
From the linked article:
"Through personal conversation over dinner, I learned that Governor LePage had transitioned into political life after establishing a record of success in the private sector as the CEO of a business operating in Maine."
There's a lesson in that line for voters everywhere.
Amen to that. I get a chuckle out of the liberals who hate the Governor, and take every opportunity to sneer at Mardens, and say the Governor only ran for office because "he wanted money and the state pension." Most of them don't realize he took a 2/3 pay/benefits cut to serve as Maine's Governor. In addition, they probably all shop at Mardens whether or not they'll admit the truth.
