I wonder if we're trying to get our politics to be a little more dramatic, like Australia or England. We need people diving across tables and punching people. Mainers are polite, though - she didn't actually try to hit him with the jar. Former Mayor of Biddeford throws jar of Vasoline near Governor LePage SACO -- Governor LePage's town hall-style meeting ended suddenly Thursday after the former mayor of Biddeford, Joanne Twomey, interrupted the governor and tossed a jar of Vaseline near him.
"Oh yes, I threw the jar at the stage," Twomey told CBS 13.
Twomey shouted at Governor LePage during the question and answer portion of the event. When she approached the stage where the governor was speaking, several security people pulled Twomey away from the stage. She was not arrested.
Outside, Twomey was embraced and rebuffed.
"That is why we come here, so we can get our point across, just like he likes to get his point across," said Jackie Edwards.
One man asked Twomey "Excuse me don't we have to have order at a meeting and communicate in a polite matter?"
The governor's staff ended the town hall after the incident. The governor was in Saco selling his state budget plan.
Twomey says she she chose Vaseline to throw at the governor because of his reference almost 2 years ago about a Democratic lawmaker, Sen. Troy
Jackson. Back then, Governor LePage claimed Jackson, “claims to be for the people but he’s the
first one to give it to the people without providing Vaseline.”
And the article doesn't include the fact that LePage's state budget plan includes reducing income tax and increasing sales tax - a plan which will hit the poor the most.
