Paul LePage: Entrepreneurial "doers" create jobs all over the state

• In Portland, the Eimskip shipping service.
  • In Wilton, Barclaycards.
  • In Brunswick, Tempus Jets.
  • In Nashville Plantation, Irving Forest Products.
  More jobs have been added at such world-class companies as:
  • Maine Wood Concepts in New Vineyard.
  • Molnlycke Health Care in Wiscasset.
  • Hinckley Yachts in Trenton.
  We are a state of entrepreneurial "doers." There are 40,000 small businesses in Maine. Our state has roughly 130,000 microbusinesses. They employ 170,000 people. They drive our economy. If they could each add one more job, that would transform our economy. Source: 2014 State of the State speech to Me. legislature Feb 4, 2014
