The horror of a “public servant” needing a second income to keep the household afloat.

I’d love to see the moochette or cankles do an honest day’s labor especially if it involved one on one contact with the lowly masses.

That would cause at a minimum a real stroke for either of them.

Good for the first lady of Maine being responsible and not whining for more money.

I’m for capping governor’s salaries at around 70k for starters.

Back when Bill was governor of Arkansas, I think his salary was low, in the area of $30,000 a year I think?

Can you imagine if Hillary had to wait tables back in the day?

But of course she was a hot shot lawyer in the Rose Law Firm and earned much more than Bill in those days.

Off topic, but Hillary said they were dead broke when they left the White House. She failed to mention that they were dead broke due to huge legal bills Bill incurred, based on the Lewinsky case and the Paula Jones case. They were broke due to Bill’s own bad behavior. But Hillary doesn’t mention that.

Ann LePage is awesome.

I remember when Hillary stiffed the waitress in New York.

Sounds like the making of a new reality show.

Not just the lowest paid, but as far as I can see, the best Governor in the nation. By miles. All in the middle of Communist Maine.

The Governor should have become a congressman. They all end up being millionaires after a couple of terms.

Paul LePage of Maine is a good outspoken governor and his wife reflects the work ethic of LePage.

I put this woman’s husband on my list of VP candidates.

Good article.

This same governor (LePage) recently said he knows absolutely, that
Cruz is not a natural born USA citizen, because LePage's own daughters, born while the LePage family temporarily lived in Canada, had to be NATURALIZED when the family moved back to the US.

The Lt. Governor of Texas is paid $7,200 a year. I’m told he’s also put on a lot of corporate boards.

So she does something millions of Americans do? She works? Don’t know anything about her. She is probably a very nice person, but I fail to see why it is newsworthy.

Get back to me when she works at The Waffle House or Mikey D’s.

Good for her. I have more respect for an average waitress than I do for ANY politician. And I that quite literally, not as some hyperbole.

Good. There is no reason for any government employee to be paid more than the average wage in the taxpayer pool that is on the hook to support them.

The governor of Texas makes $150K. By by any measure of comparison, $70K is generous for the Governor of Maine.
