Political Note #150 Janet Mills ME Governor
Janet Mills is Maine's Attorney Genera. She is running for Governor. Janet Mills sees herself as a problem solver, even a conciliator. Notwithstanding her sojourn in California, she is no Democratic Socialist. As a state legislator, she earned an "A" rating from the NRA. As Attorney General, she earned the anger of the Penobscot Nation and liberal groups when she supported the governor and obtained a ruling that the Penobscot reservation included islands in the Penobscot River, but not the water itself. Regardless of her aspirations, Janet Mills was no problem solver as Attorney General. With LePage as governor, she had to choose between rolling over and confronting him. She chose confrontation.
