AUGUSTA (AP) — Republican Gov. Paul LePage urged lawmakers to put aside “petty egos” and send him a budget on Sunday as a legislative panel sought common ground on a proposal promoted by House Republicans who torpedoed the previous spending bill.

LePage posted a Facebook video in which he chastised Republican Senate President Michael Thibodeau and Democratic House Speaker Sara Gideon.

“We were elected to serve 1.3 million people in the state of Maine — not shut down government for the press,” he said. “The time for delay is over.”

The governor’s comments did little to ease tension around the Statehouse, where many lawmakers blamed LePage and House Republicans for the shutdown.

The six-member budget-negotiating panel met behind closed doors for much of the day but began going through the proposal line by line Sunday evening in hopes of producing a state budget that can be voted on by the full House and Senate before the Fourth of July.

The revised budget contained $162 million in increased education spending to partially offset removal of a voter-approved 3 percent surcharge on income of wealthy Maine residents that was aimed to boosting state spending on K-12 education.

The panel voted late Sunday to keep a lodging tax increase but voted to delay implementation by a month to Nov. 1. LePage said he won’t sign a budget with a tax increase. But Thibodeau said eliminating of the surcharge more than made up for it.

With the state government shutdown in its second day, the session got off to a rocky start when Gideon scolded House Republicans for making changes to the latest proposal. Democrats have accused the governor and House Republicans of repeatedly changing their demands.

“I can barely contain my fury,” Gideon said.

Republicans assured her there would be no more changes.

“I don’t think there’s anything nefarious,” Republican Rep. Tom Winsor said.

Maine state government went into partial shutdown Saturday because of lawmakers’ failure to approve a new two-year budget.
