AUGUSTA — Former Governor Paul R. LePage spoke this morning with senior White House officials as a follow up to the letter he sent President Donald Trump on the proposed restrictions to Maine’s lobster industry.

“I thank the Trump Administration for their attention to this critical issue.  I’m pleased to say that today was a good first step,” Governor LePage stated after the meeting. “I am hopeful a solution can be found that is focused on science and not statistics.”

In his July 16 letter, Governor LePage outlined several concerns about the devastating effect the proposed rules would have on the lobster fishery, a symbolic Maine industry.

A link to the letter is available on the Maine People Before Politics website.
