Rather than focus on the state budget deficit, the MaineCare shortfall or the potential loss of over$500 million in federal education funds, Democrats are focused on a sham censure
AUGUSTA – House Republican Leader Billy Bob Faulkingham had this to say regarding another day of wasted opportunities in Augusta.
“Today House Democrats made a mockery of the legislative process,” said House Republican Leader Billy Bob Faulkingham. “Instead of focusing on the state budget deficit, the MaineCare shortfall or the potential loss of over $500 million in federal education funds, Democrats are focused on a sham censure. Instead of solving pressing problems, they have attempted to divert public attention to a social media post.
“Whether you agree or disagree with the post, it doesn’t violate Facebook community standards. There are no rules in place that define guidelines on social media posts or the use of publicly available photos. A member of the majority party shared a post supporting a convicted murderer and terrorist fugitive, but is not facing the same repercussions. The majority party should get to work on the important issues facing Maine and stop bullying the minority party. It is not a good look.”
