Gov. Paul LePage said three major companies may leave the state. “I know the press wants to know who they are, but I’m not going to just divulge it,” the governor said on WGAN radio’s morning show with Ken Altshuler and Matt Gagnon. “The fact of the matter is several hundred jobs are undertaken here because of the pressures from the corporate offices of some of these companies.” The governor said rural areas would be hit hard if two of the companies leave. Last week, the governor said 400 Mainers may lose their jobs if two companies thinking about leaving Maine did in fact leave. “We are really trying to keep them here and keep them alive,” LePage said Thursday. Last week, the governor cited minimum wage and taxation for reasons. WGAN is a media partner with WMTW. Last year, the governor said Maine would lose 900 jobs, but those losses never materialized.
