    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the view of Maine Governor Paul LePage on why his state was still rated number 50 for the second straight year on the journal's list of the Best States for Business. Governor LePage alleged that the journal stated that despite Maine's success in some areas, it ignored structural problems such as welfare and energy. The journal argued that none of the governor's statements were true and that business costs and a weak job outlook were the reasons why Maine fared poorly.
