PORTLAND, Maine — Maine’s former Republican governor spent all or part of at least 80 days outside of the state during his last year in office, according to travel records that revealed trips that had not previously been disclosed.

The information was contained in former Gov. Paul LePage’s 2018 calendar and hundreds of pages of records related to his travel obtained by the Portland Press Herald through a public records request and published Monday.

One of the trips that was not previously known about was to meet with an official of a Canadian hydropower utility pushing a 145-mile transmission project through Maine.

LePage flew to Montreal on Sept. 19 to visit with Hydro-Quebec’s vice president for business development, Steve Demers.
