The wife of Maine Republican Governor, Ann LePage got a waitressing job a few weeks ago to "supplement" her husband's $70,000 per year salary, the lowest of any U.S. governor. The governor Paul LePage made this known at a recent town hall in Maine.
Ann says she loves to be a waitress and she's been waiting long for the opportunity to work as one.
The LePages live with their dog, in the Augusta governor's mansion and bought a $215,000 Boothbay home two years ago. The governor recently tried but failed to increase his successor's salary to $150,000 per year, above the nearly $135,000 average for all 50 state governors in 2015.
LePage said she spent years taking care of her mother, who long suffered from scleroderma and passed away in October.
She said, it's not time to follow through on her interest, LePage said, adding: "I know she'd be proud of me."
LePage, who's saving up for a Toyota RAV4, works three days a week, and is asking for more shifts at work in order to make more money.
She said:
"Because of who I am and who I'm married to, I want to work extra hard just so I can show them I can do the job," she said.
She'd never tell reveal her identity except being asked. She wants to be treated like any regular worker rather than enjoying a preferential treatment.
