BANGOR, Maine (AP) Maine Gov. Paul LePage is out of the hospital and plans to return to work soon.
Peter Steele, a spokesman for the Republican governor, says the 69-year-old LePage is back in the Blaine House on Monday. Steele says LePage is “resting and getting ready to return to work in the next couple of days.”
LePage experienced discomfort on Saturday while visiting family in New Brunswick. He was then taken by ambulance from a New Brunswick hospital to Presque Isle in northern Maine, and then transported to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, where he arrived late on Saturday night.
Steele says doctors decided to keep the governor hospitalized at Eastern Maine Medical Center overnight on Sunday. He has not provided more details about the nature of the discomfort.
