Stephen King hasn’t gotten the apology he wants from Gov. Paul LePage.
The Bangor author posted an update on his spat with the LePage on his Twitter account at 6:44 a.m. Sunday:
“No apology from Governor LePage. Some guys are a lot better at dishing it out than taking it back,” King wrote.
The dispute between the governor and the Master of Horror erupted Wednesday after LePage claimed in a radio address about his controversial tax overhaul proposal that King didn’t pay income taxes in Maine and had moved to Florida.
King followed up in an e-mail to the Portland Press Herald Friday revealing that he and his wife had paid $1.4 million in state taxes in 2013, about the same in 2014 and annually donate $3 million to $5 million to Maine causes.
King called for LePage to “man up” and apologize.
The spat quickly grabbed national media attention. King has 669,000 followers on Twitter.
On Sunday, King, a longtime antagonist of the governor, was still waiting.
