Earle Albee

Earle Albee (died February 10, 1963) was an American politician and restaurant owner from Maine. Albee, a Republican from Portland, served in the Maine House of Representatives from 1949 to 1954 and in the Maine Senate from 1955 to 1956. During his time in office, Albee was a proponent of Maine adopting a sales tax.[1] He was sentenced in May 1957 for accepting money under the pretense of having a drunk driving charge dismissed. In May 1958, Albee's request for clemency was denied by Governor Edmund Muskie and the Executive Council.[2] He died on February 10, 1963.[3]
