Governor’s Wife In The US Takes Summer Job As A Waitress To Help Her Do This (See Photos)

The wife of Maine’s governor has taken a job for the summer as a waitress to supplement the couple’s income, as he is the lowest paid governor in the nation.

The 58-year-old wife of Maine Republican Gov. Paul LePage had kept a low profile for the first few weeks of her summer job at dockside restaurant, McSeagull’s, which touts double-wrapped bacon scallops and views of Boothbay Harbor.
But then her husband told a crowd at a recent town hall that his wife took a job to ‘supplement’ his $70,000 salary, the lowest of any U.S. governor.
The LePages live with their dog, a Jack Russell terrier mix named Veto, 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, above the nearly $135,000 average for all 50 state governors in 2015.
LePage, who’s saving up for a Toyota RAV4, works three days a week, and is asking for more shifts, WGME reported.

‘Because of who I am and who I’m married to, I want to work extra hard just so I can show them I can do the job,’ she said.

She doesn’t tell customers, or co-workers, who she is unless they ask.
