There was an article in the Herald Gazette which highlighted Maine State Governor LePage. The article focuses on the fact that the Gov. will no longer be attending a trade mission to Chile and Brazil which he was to be the leader of. He states in the article that he is no longer going because, "it is incumbent that I attend to these [supplemental budget] matters here in Maine." A colleague states that she, "appreciates the governor's focus on our state's fiscal matters...[and] while the governor will not be able to attend, his administration will still benefit from the mission..."
This article seemed to have a heavy vote toward promoting Lepage as a responsible and dedicated governor. The article seemed to be littered with people praising LePage's decision to stay in Maine. Which does seem important, but the article seemed to be more focused on LePage's dedication to the state rather than a simple public statement that he would not be attending the trade mission. I felt as though his PR agents used this opportunity to gain some popularity votes from Mainers.
