In the short time Gov. Paul LePage has been in office, his outspoken behavior and unprofessionalism and the lack of respect he displays for the state warrants some sessions with Dr. Phil.

The people in Maine, including those not born here, are hardworking and care about the state, as are our family, friends and neighbors.

Before Maine ends up a laughing stock of the country, LePage should focus on what he was elected to do.

I would hate to see Maine the butt of some jokes on any of the late night shows. Personally, I think he enjoys the attention that he gets. Maybe Maine should think about using performance evaluations on its elected officials. Maybe he’ll find he’s not the right person for the job.
