To be elected into political power is not an avenue to accumulate wealth, but an avenue for you to serve the power that elected you there. This is such story of a US Maine Republican Governor whose wife, Ann LePage got a waitressing job a few weeks ago to complement 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.
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.
Ann LePage said being a waitress is something she had "always always wanted to do."
