Maine Democrats to start impeachment proceedings against Governor LePage on Thursday

 
 
 
Yep. That guy is just nuts. I suspect a few Republicans will join in as well.

LePage joins a minority of governors (he’s one of 10) who have higher disapproval ratings than approval ratings. According to Morning Consult, 39 percent approve of the job he is doing, and 57 percent disapprove.

He won re-election because he had two Democratic opponents who split the Democratic vote.

Hope they bag this critter this time.
 
Being an ignorant bigot is not an impeachable offense.

I would think at the least a serious crime must have been committed to impeach somebody.

Jay walking should not lead to impeachment.

Sharing the ignorance of many many Americans is not a crime.

It is just a shame.

But that's not what he's being impeached for.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/storie...?SITE=CARIE&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULTSome lawmakers insist the Legislature must take some sort of action, whether it's censure or impeachment, to punish LePage for using his influence to pressure a charter school operator into rescinding a job offer to House Speaker Mark Eves, a Democrat.
Chipman said he has eight co-sponsors for his proposal to create a special committee to investigate that incident and seven others in which the governor allegedly overstepped his authority. The panel would issue its recommendations to lawmakers by April 1.

Chipman said he thinks the investigation will show a pattern of abuse of power, misuse of public assets, official oppression and other violations.
"We're absolutely convinced that holding Gov. LePage accountable puts us the right side of history. We're very comfortable with that," said Rep. Jeffrey Evangelos, an independent from Friendship, who's one of the co-sponsors of the impeachment order.

He's been a badddd boy!

He's being accused.

It really depends on what evidence they have. One Democrat not getting a job is not much.
