Ben Chin says he's honored to be on Paul LePage's 'wanted list'

Source: Sun Journal

Lewiston activist Ben Chin on Friday called Gov. Paul LePage's "wanted" poster of the Maine People's Alliance leader a baseless "arts and crafts project."

At a town hall meeting in Bath on Thursday night, the governor had unveiled three “wanted” posters targeting Chin, Matt Schlobohm of the Maine AFL-CIO and Nick Bennett of the Natural Resources Council of Maine, poking at all three for being "job killers."

"It's interesting that so many conservative wing nuts enjoy putting my face on their posters," said Chin, the political engagement director at the Maine People's Alliance who ran for Lewiston mayor last year.

During that mayoral campaign, a Lewiston landlord erected signs reading “Don’t Vote for Ho Chi Chin. Vote for more jobs not more welfare.” Chin's grandfather emigrated to the U.S. from China.
