AUGUSTA Gov. Paul LePage announced a major shake-up of his administration on Wednesday, including the resignation of his top economic adviser amid allegations of improper comments during a tour of Aroostook County earlier this month. Barely four months into his term, LePage is faced with filling two additional Cabinet positions after the resignations Wednesday of Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Philip Congdon and Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Darryl Brown.
Governor-elect Bob McDonnell has tapped a former Bush administration official, a former state lawmaker and a technology executive to serve in his Cabinet, moving the Republican closer to filling the top posts in his incoming administration.

Domenech served for four years as the chief of staff to the secretary of the interior and is now a senior vice president for Artemis Strategies, a Washington, D.C.-based government relations and public affairs firm.

Fortunately, the president can draw on the experience of the most accomplished Americans to help find the answers - not only die well-known wise men and women selected to fill positions in [Barack Obama]'s Cabinet, but regular people who solved these problems in their own communities. * In crime. Incarcerating 2 million people in prison costs about $50 billion a year, plus the cost of building prisons and wasted lives. Despite the expense, over 70 percent of released inmates commit crimes again and return to jail. But at the Delancey Street Foundation's rehabilitation center in San Francisco, criminals and drug addicts turn their lives around and become productive citizens. There's no cost to taxpayers, since the center is financed by businesses run as training programs by the residents...
