U. S. A Governor’s wife becomes a waitress to supplent her husband’s salary


Ann LePage,the wife of Maine Republican Governor,U.S.A  took a waitressing job a few weeks ago to "supplement" her husband's $70,000 per year salary, the lowest of any U.S. governor.
The LePages live with their dog, in the Augusta governor's mansion and bought a $215,000 Boothbay home two years ago. The governor recently tried but failed to increase his successor's salary to $150,000 per year, above the nearly $135,000 average for all 50 state governors in 2015.
Ann LePage said being a waitress is something she had "always always wanted to do."



LePage, who's saving up for a Toyota RAV4, works three days a week, and is asking for more shifts at work in order to make more money.

She said: "Because of who I am and who I'm married to, I want to work extra hard just so I can show them I can do the job," she said. She doesn't tell customers, or co-workers, who she is unless they ask. She doesn't tell them because she wants to be treated like every regular worker with no preferential treatment.
