Most people are familiar with the stormy tenure and in-your-face pronouncements of Maine governor Paul LePage, elected in a three-way contest in 2010 with 38% of the vote. As Maine Went looks behind the headlines at the results of LePage's hard-right policies on everything from health care to the economy and the environment. This book is a case study of what happens when the Tea Party, a movement defined by its distrust of government, is handed the keys to a state.
