Maine’s first lady picks up summer waitressing job
Summer jobs, we’ve all had them. From mowing lawns to working as a sternman aboard a lobster boat, it can be an opportunity to not only make a few extra bucks, but to learn a little bit about the feeling of a job well done. It’s no different for Maine’s first lady, Ann LePage.
"Oh honey, it's all about the money; it's all about the money. I told him (Gov. Paul LePage) my money I earn here I'm putting in a kitty. I want to buy a car this summer," LePage told WGME13.
In addition to her usual civic duties as the first lady, LePage is spending her summer waitressing at McSeagull’s Restaurant in Boothbay Harbor to supplement the salary of her governor husband.
“My daughter last year, she’s is in law school, she made $28 an hour working in Boothbay as a waitress, server. She did so well, my wife, the first lady, to supplement the governor’s salary is waitressing this summer. I’m kidding — not kidding really,” Gov. LePage said at a recent town hall meeting, WGME reported.
The $70,000 salary that Gov. LePage earns is the lowest of any governor in the country. In March, the governor proposed increasing the salary of future governors for the first time since 1987 to $150,000, according to WGME.
