Once again the governor proves he deserves the nick name"huff and puff" you see his agenda was "job creation" while hid deed shut down jobs at the facility he was speaking at.
Once again who is stalling the recovery? who is stalling job creation?
BRUNSWICK, Maine - Gov. Paul LePage says he is holding off on issuing $40 million in bonds approved by voters.
The decision affects various projects from ferry and railroad improvements to upgrades to the University of Maine System to expansion plans at Southern Maine Community College.
...
LePage said he is refusing to issue those new bonds because it would be fiscally irresponsible right now.
On Wednesday LePage visited the new Southern Maine Community College at Brunswick Landing, a day after making the bond announcement.
He toured the campus, seeing two of the buildings that are finished and three others that are not complete.
Southern Maine Community College President Ron Cantor said he was stunned by the governor's decision. The school would have received $4.7 million to complete the Brunswick Landing expansion.
"We are quickly trying to look at how much we spend, how much is left, and I don't have the exact answers as to if anything will have to be slowed down or stopped or anything like that. What I do know is that we do not have funds to finish the rest of our buildings," said Cantor.
The goal of the governor's visit on Wednesday was to talk about job creation and how to better market Maine. LePage did not want to answer questions about the bonds.

AS YOU CAN SEE BY HOLDING UP THE BONDS HE HAS HELD UP THE COMPLETION OF 3 BUILDINGS!
tell me ole huff and puff by holding up those bonds until 2014 how you are creating jobs,saving me tax money,creating a more educated work force or keeping these 3 buildings that are already under construction from damage by setting for 2 years? OLE GREAT LEADER COMMON SENSE SEEMS TO BE YOUR WEAKER SUIT! The whole purpose of "brunswick landing " is to create jobs! and you just pulled the boner of the year by cutting the income tax by 1% which cut 400 million from revenue and then stating we need money? I mean really who do you represent ? the maine heritage foundation or us the tax payers of this state?
your agenda seems to be written right out of their talking points! what about the students who might have been able to afford going to the new college campus just because it cut their travel expenses,they could stay at home and work part time in a business right at brunswick landing? what about the contractors work force that will be laid off because of your lack of knowledge? (an that is proving to be showing up a lot lately) I mean what happens if several businesses see this as
a negative to their future investment(we already lost the airplane company thanks to you)! ah yes your legacy will fit right in with this ole saying:
once again "republicans continue to prove they are incapable of leading"
