A simmering dispute among members of the Legislature's Appropriations Committee over a $37 million Medicaid waiver prompted Gov. Paul LePage to pay the panel an unexpected visit today. The governor told the panel that its debate over whether the waiver was permissible or not would be an issue he would straighten out at the federal level. LePage also told legislators that their failure to cut $221 million from the budget will force him to seek cuts to state education to close the gap.
