Quite literally. Still Governor, but apparently a dispute over the placement of a television led to this...


The dispute that led to this strange move doesn’t have anything to do with LePage’s contentious budget, or even Democrats’ plans to expand medicaid and pay back Maine’s hospitals. Instead, it appears to be a result of a dispute over the Governor’s decision to place a television in the Hall of Flags outside his office, a space technically under the purview of the legislature....The attitude of the administration seems to have changed overnight, however, and the disagreement over the flat screen television is now apparently important enough for the governor to abandon his space in the State House.

talk about turf wars....

but in a sense it is refreshing. Think of all the powers the federal congress lets the executive preempt....
