Maine Gov. Janet Mills is stealing a page from the GOP playbook by boasting of returning money to the state’s taxpayers and raising the rainy day fund to new heights.
During her speech Saturday at Maine’s Democratic Convention, the first woman to serve as the state’s governor contrasted her fiscal and economic record with that of her Republican rival, former Gov. Paul LePage.
Mills spoke to the party faithful at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor ahead of what’s expected to be a difficult, costly reelection campaign against the former two-term Republican governor.
