A landlord in Maine says the mural of the state's labor history is stashed securely "somewhere" inside the Central Maine Commerce Center, after Governor Paul LePage had it taken down from the lobby of the state Labor Department over the weekend. The Portland Press Herald reports that the artist who painted it, Judy Taylor, recommends that Governor LePage hang her father's Korean War medal in the giant new blank spot.

The Press Herald also finds this bit of genius, from Maine video producer Geoff Leighton. He decided to try balancing out the images of ordinary working people with the great moguls of history "who were significant in bringing wealth to the wealthy, despite onerous government regulations and pesky unions." It's just so very good.

UPDATE: Taking down the mural may have violated the state's contract with Ms. Taylor.
