AUGUSTA — Gov. Paul LePage on Friday held an event designed to bring awareness to domestic violence.
The gathering in the State House Hall of Flags was a public service event. However, the governor also foreshadowed some upcoming initiatives he says will strengthen the state's domestic violence laws.
The details are expected to be released later this month in a package of bills sponsored by Republicans and Democrats.

"We need to shift domestic violence from a women's problem to a men's problem," he said. "We need to speak up, stand up and man up against domestic violence."'
