The Legislature’s watchdog agency says it hopes to submit findings in September on the governor’s move to keep Good Will-Hinckley from hiring Eves.

Gov. Paul LePage says the charter-school hiring controversy is a ‘political hack-o-rama’ as he faces accusations of abusing his power.

Mark Eves, labeled untrustworthy by Gov. Paul LePage, stands out to his legislative colleagues and others as a ‘nice, honest’ person

The Legislature’s Government Oversight Committee approves the investigation unanimously after the governor’s attorney says the agency lacks jurisdiction over LePage.

The House speaker would have earned $120,000 a year as Good Will-Hinckley president, until the governor interceded.

A Republican co-chairman calls for a ‘rational, bipartisan venue’ where allegations of an abuse of power can be examined.

The board missed a chance to teach students to do the right thing – stick with its decision to hire Mark Eves despite pressure from LePage, they say.

They want an oversight panel to look into possible abuse of power, as the governor says he threatened to pull funding from the school that hired the House speaker.
