PPH reports “The Senate chairwoman of the Legislature’s budget-writing committee blocked Gov. Paul LePage’s surprise attempt to speak Sunday during an emergency meeting called to address the governor’s recent claim that the Department of Health and Human Services won’t be able to pay MaineCare providers come May 28.”
““I mean no disrespect to you, but … I know there’s a lot of politics at play here,” Hill said.

The exchange went on for about two minutes. At one point, LePage rose to leave the room. He then stopped and returned to the dais, saying the committee was denying him the chance to speak.
“It’s unfortunate that the people of the state of Maine are being played for patsies,” he said.

Hi!
In my opinion, the Senate Chairwoman was inappropriate and stupid in not allowing Gov. LePage to speak at the meeting.
Who does she think she is?
Does she think that she “owns” the legislature?
What a fool!
Thank you!

I think she’s been hanging around Senator (now Rep.) Barry (Hobnobs) Hobbins too long……

haven’t you two learned that once a fool gets elected or appointed to any office they are then elevated above god?
This is a minor point, and I am not even from Maine— but I am still wondering: were the MaineCare providers in fact paid on May 28th?
