7-year-old thinking about state's problems

Does Gov. Paul LePage know that if he shuts down schools then he will lose money? Because a lot of people work at school. People will lose jobs and money. Also people won't move to Maine, and people will move away. Plus he would not be governor without school because school helped him learn. That is why I am writing this letter.
