Maine Governor Paul LePage’s decision to remove a [labor mural](https://hyperallergic.com/maine-governor-labor-mural/) from the state’s Department of Labor was met with an avalanche of messages critical of the Republican leader’s need to appear more pro-business. According to AP’s analysis, 92 percent of the individual letters opposed the governor’s action; the figure becomes even more lopsided when the faxes from the advocacy group Maine’s Majority are factored in. Surprisingly, LePage still thinks he did the right thing.
