The wife of Maine Republican Governor,

lowest of any U.S. governor. The

at a recent town hall in Maine.

Ann LePage got a waitressing job a few
weeks ago to “supplement” her
husband’s $70,000 per year salary, the
lowest of any U.S. governor. The
Governor Paul LePage made this known
at a recent town hall in Maine.
The LePages live with their dog, in the
Augusta governor’s mansion and
bought a $215,000 Boothbay home two
years ago. The governor recently tried
but failed to increase his successor’s
salary to $150,000 per year, above the
nearly $135,000 average for all 50 state
governors in 2015.
Ann LePage said being a waitress is
something she had “always always
wanted to do.”
LePage said she spent years taking care
of her mother, who long suffered from
scleroderma and passed away in
October.
She said, it’s not time to follow through
on her interest, LePage said, adding: “I
know she’d be proud of me.”
LePage, who’s saving up for a Toyota
RAV4, works three days a week, and is
asking for more shifts at work in order
to make more money.
She said:
“Because of who I am and who I’m
married to, I want to work extra hard
just so I can show them I can do the
job,” she said.
She doesn’t tell customers, or co-
workers, who she is unless they ask. She
doesn’t tell them because she wants to
be treated like every regular worker
with no preferential treatment.
