AP quotes Brewer in report about LePage’s legal victory, new dog

Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, spoke with The Associated Press for the article, “The governor’s good day: A new dog and a legal victory.” After multiple recent criticisms, Gov. Paul LePage had some good news when a federal judge tossed a lawsuit accusing him of abuse of power, and his family adopted a new dog they named Veto, according to the article. Brewer said the ups and downs shouldn’t come as a surprise for an unconventional politician who shoots for the moon when it comes to policy initiatives and likes to brag that he’s not politically correct, the article states. “When you get one of those people, their highs are going to be higher and their lows are going to be lower, and there’s going to be more distance in between those,” Brewer said. Fosters.com and theeagle.com carried the AP report.
