LePage skipping meeting with Obama

[MaineDem]

WASHINGTON — Gov. Paul LePage is skipping a National Governors Association meeting this morning with President Obama at the White House.

LePage was at the airport earlier this morning and set to return to Maine, according to his spokeswoman, Adrienne Bennett, via email.

LePage, a Republican, had been in Washington since Saturday attending the NGA winter meeting, which ends today after the nation's governors meet with Obama, with job creation and state-federal partnerships some of the topics on the agenda.

Bennett did not say why LePage left Washington ahead of the White House meeting, which is the traditional finale to the NGA winter meeting. LePage did attend Sunday night's dinner at the White House for governors hosted by Obama, but this morning's session is when the governors and the president discuss policy matters.

Poor Adrienne probably had no clue he was on his way back.
