It is fitting, perhaps, that the latest controversy to rattle the LePage administration involved ill-advised, injudicious and just plain obnoxious comments by a state official. The official was not the governor himself, not this time, but Paul LePage has no one but himself to blame when a member of his Cabinet goes out in public and insults the people he's supposed to be serving.

The Office of Public Liaison has been a specialized unit of the White House staff since the Gerald Ford administration, though the basic features of the staff assignment can be traced to Franklin D. Roosevelt. The OPL has helped presidents achieve their goals in multiple ways: to mobilize public support for presidential initiatives in order to sell programs to Congress; to factor groups' views into White House policy making; and to serve as an adjunct to the reelection campaign. The unit also has provided symbolic representation for groups in the White House, helping them with "casework'' and interpreting their policy positions and internal group politics to administration decision makers. Within the White House, the OPL staff has operated within different systems of reporting and coord...
From the state Senate rocking chair to a pair of gavels and framed newspaper clippings, the walls of County Councilman Ed Middlebrooks' law office chronicle nearly three decades in public office. He has cultivated a reputation as a straight-talking and sometimes glib legislator, both quick with a joke and quick to get down to business.
