It is perfect that Gov. Paul LePage is ditching Maine for Florida

One day before Maine voters elect his successor, outgoing Republican Gov. Paul LePage told reporters that he plans on moving to Florida. He is done with politics after eight years in the governor’s mansion. Now, America’s unlikeliest governor wants warmer weather and especially lower taxes.

“I’ll be a resident of Florida if Janet Mills wins, I can promise you that,” a precocious LePage said of the Democratic gubernatorial nominee. “I’ll also be in Florida if Shawn Moody wins,” he followed up, speaking of the Republican candidate, “because I am going to retire and go to Florida.”
