Story from Portland, Maine, Press Herald dated Dec. 3, 2014: “Texas is leading a multistate coalition in suing over the Obama administration’s recently announced executive actions on immigration. Maine Gov. Paul LePage is among the plaintiffs involved in the lawsuit.”
Story from Bangor, Maine, Daily News dated Aug. 11, 2015: “Maine’s Republican Gov. Paul LePage denies he’s among a group of plaintiffs suing President Barack Obama.”
Very strictly speaking, he’s technically correct — the lawsuit names as defendants “The United States of America” and several Obama administration officials, but Obama isn’t one of them. However, a governor who has time to play such sophomoric word games probably isn’t tending to state business as much as he should.
