Former Gov. Paul LePage said Monday neither he nor his wife did anything wrong in benefitting from a property tax exemption in Florida while he was living in Maine and campaigning for office. LePage said his wife, Ann, remained a full-time Florida resident when he moved back to Maine in 2020 to campaign for a third non-consecutive term as governor.
