Maine attorney general confirms complaint against LePage administration for open-meetings violation
Source: Kennebec Journal
A spokesman for Maine Attorney General Janet Mills confirmed Thursday that her office would be taking legal action against the administration of Gov. Paul LePage for violating Maine’s open meetings law.
The attorney general’s apparently unprecedented move is in response to an April closed-door meeting of a special legislative commission on education that LePage hosted at the official governor’s residence, the Blaine House.
“We have informed the administration that we will be filing a complaint for the violation of the public access law by the Blue Ribbon Commission to Reform Public Education Funding, convened by members and staff of the commission at the Blaine House on April 25, 2016,” Mills’ spokesman Tim Feeley said in a prepared statement.
“That complaint, when filed, will detail the facts surrounding the violation. The complaint will be a public document and will be self-explanatory.” The complaint will be filed in Kennebec County District Court, but there is no timeline for when that would take place, Feeley said.
