Legislature to keep mask requirement over GOP opposition

Legislature to keep mask requirement over GOP opposition May 28, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Legislative leaders are keeping in place a mask requirement for the State House, despite Republican opposition. The Legislative Council on Thursday took no further action on the mask mandate, despite an uproar among Republicans who say lawmakers shouldn t be subjected to different rules than the public. The governor has lifted requirements for masks indoors, though businesses can choose to continue requiring them. On Monday, seven Republicans defied the rule by entering the State House without masks. House Speaker Ryan Fecteau, a Democrat, responded by stripping them of their committee assignments.
