In fact, the scope of its review should be broadened, and the committee should undertake a systematic evaluation of the governor’s activities.

The oath of office does not give the governor the authority to pick and choose which laws he will enforce or which laws he will follow.

LePage has forfeited the benefit of the doubt. While it’s a task that they are reluctant to accept, it now falls to the members of Legislature — Republicans and Democrats — to uncover the truth, determine the facts and, if appropriate, hold the governor accountable for his actions.

The governor has left the Legislature no choice. Nothing less than the rule of law is at risk.
