A Governor Mills Supporter Sports A T-Shirt Made Famous by Her Immortal Words to President Trump: “See you in Court. ” The T-ees are Available at Little Chair Printing, Congress Street, Portland.  All proceeds are donated to Charity.  As of Over a Month Ago, “Hope” had Sold Just Over 1,200 of These T’s.

“This type of dysfunction is exactly what Maine people can’t stand about Washington – and that’s because here in Maine, unlike in Washington, we balance our books, pay our bills and meet our obligations.  It’s entirely irresponsible that the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress have shut down the federal government simply because they don’t want people across Maine and America to have access to health care and are unwilling to prevent health care costs from skyrocketing furhter.

Now, in addition to denying people care, Republicans are pushing our economy closer to the brink, putting critical services at risk and requiring TSA workers, prison guards and members of the military to work without pay.

I do not consider health care to be ‘an insane policy demand,’ as some have said.  This is not complicated:  people want access to affordable health care and they want a government that works.  Maine people deserve both and Republicans should stop standing in the way.”

In September, Governor Mills warned the Maine Congressional Delegation that failure to extend the Affordabcle Care Act enhanced premium tax credit could signifiantly drive up the costs of health care for tens of thousands of Maine people.
