AUGUSTA — Gov. Paul LePage has largely fulfilled his promise to veto bills with Democratic sponsors, but the Legislature isn’t playing along. Lawmakers voted to override the governor nine out of 10 times on Tuesday and Wednesday. That means nine bills ranging from cracking down on toll violators on the Maine Turnpike to the LePage administration’s own request to change a business grant program will become law over the objections of the governor.
