New Gloucester Selectmen took no action this week on an anti-mask resolution that questioned the constitutionality of Gov. Janet Mills’ executive orders requiring face coverings in public settings.
The majority of the 70 people tuning into the meeting who spoke opposed the anti-mask measure, with one, New Gloucester resident and South Portland City Manager Scott Morrelli, saying it was an “ignorant” and “irresponsible” resolution.
