🏛️ On State of the States, @JoeSudbay looks at Maine's session - a trifecta that DC pundits in '22 predicted wouldn't be! 🎙️ From @MaineHouseDems, he's joined by Majority Leader Mo Terry, HD-108, Gorham and from @mainesenatedems, @miketipping, SD-08 📻 siriusxm.com/progress
We were willing to compromise on a lot to get the governor to sign a minimum wage for farmworkers (every single other thing, it turns out), but we weren't going to go back and take away their existing rights.

Two more frustrating vetoes from @GovJanetMills today. LD 373, my bill, would have promoted labor agreements at clean energy facilities, creating good jobs in a new industry. LD 1231 would have cut taxes for middle class Mainers by partially restoring a tax on the very wealthy.
The new rules come after the DOL in a February report outlined how it has struggled to create stiff enough penalties to deter bad behavior from employers. mainemorningstar.com/2024/04/24/new…
Senator Tipping is right on. Denying farmworkers a minimum wage based on a technical disagreement sends a very poor message that our state does not value the people who put food on our plates.

Years of work went into this. We passed the literal bare minimum. We stripped a sentence the Governor included that hadn’t been part of the long stakeholder process of crafting the legislation. That sentence was not agreed to by anyone. It was just the Governor’s.

Labor advocates call Gov. Mills' veto of her own farmworker wage bill 'an embarrassment' mainemorningstar.com/2024/04/23/lab… via @MaineMorninStar
Very glad to see this federal action! My bill to raise the overtime threshold in Maine to a similar level passed both the Senate and House but is waiting on the appropriations table. reuters.com/world/us/biden…
BREAKING: Over 4,000 Volkswagen workers in Tennessee just joined the @UAW in a landslide. They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades. This historic victory will change the auto industry, and the future of American labor.
Very glad we could get this done!

Maine has enacted the Uniform Public Expression Protection Act (UPEPA)! Thank you to Senator @miketipping for your leadership on LD 870, which safeguards free speech in Maine. For more information on UPEPA, visit: tinyurl.com/4zbm993a
We are adjourned! After a long night, we finished the budget early this morning. My last remarks on the floor at 3am were in support of @Ambureen's bill funding community recovery centers like Save a Life in Lincoln. It passed 32-1.
Thanks to all the sponsors of Maine's new anti-SLAPP law for their great work: Maine's Senators @miketipping, @LynneforMaine, Donna Bailey, Nicole Grohoski, @JoeBaldacci and Timothy Nangle, plus Reps. @sophiabwarren @DavidWBoyer, @DanSayreMaine.

The Maine CDC says more than 95% of all school-age kids in the state have received all their required vaccines. It’s the first year since 2011 that Maine has exceeded what is known as "herd immunity." wgme.com/news/local/ove…
Periodic Maine appreciation post to mark 1 year at the Bangor Daily News. Still feel like I don’t know what I’m doing like half the time, and still get tips from people who think I’m in Louisville, but everything is OK.
The new rules come after the DOL in a February report outlined how it has struggled to create stiff enough penalties to deter bad behavior from employers. mainemorningstar.com/2024/04/24/new…
College students are being arrested for demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, where mass graves have been found. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is deciding whether it's okay to perform an abortion to save a life in an emergency room. My to-do list seems utterly unhinged in comparison.
Notable here is that Fecteau had been working in the Mills administration but left and is now running again for a seat in the House.
This should have become law. It’s that simple.
Senator Tipping is right on. Denying farmworkers a minimum wage based on a technical disagreement sends a very poor message that our state does not value the people who put food on our plates.
I am disappointed that @GovJanetMills has vetoed the minimum wage for farmworkers. It is beyond ridiculous for her to call stakeholders together to meet for months, develop a policy recommendation endorsed by her own Department of Agriculture and then veto it.
Today, MPA members delivered petition signatures in support of ensuring everyone in Maine has access to safe, affordable housing, and urging federal support for the creation of green social housing, to the offices of @chelliepingree, @RepGolden, @SenAngusKing and @SenatorCollins
Happy to see the demise of noncompete provisions. They were always unfair to employees.
Both of these actions mirror bills approved by the Maine Legislature this year. Dirigo, baby.
Folks, my Administration has announced two new big steps to get American workers a better deal. Let me explain: First, the @FTC is cracking down on "non-compete agreements," contracts that employers use to prevent their workers from changing jobs even if that job will pay a few…
“This marks the fourth time in a span of 27 months that Maine’s governor has vetoed bills that would have improved the lives of the people who put food on our tables,” said Thom Harnett, a former legislator and legal advocate for farmworkers. mainemorningstar.com/2024/04/23/lab…
🚨The FTC is finalizing a rule banning noncompete clauses for *all workers* regardless of income or industry. It will increase pay, new business formation, innovation -- and cut health care costs. It's one of the most important things the Biden Administration has done.
This veto is unreasonable and unacceptable. I will vote to override it even though I have no realistic hope that it will be overridden.
This is our statement on @GovJanetMills’ shameful veto of a minimum wage for farmworkers in Maine. #mepolitics #Shame
This is our statement on @GovJanetMills’ shameful veto of a minimum wage for farmworkers in Maine. #mepolitics #Shame
As we announced yesterday, @GovJanetMills signed LD 227 into law, placing Maine among a dozen or so other states that have enacted shield laws regarding abortion and gender-affirming care.
“The patterns of violence, threats, and extremism that accompanied the work around LD 227 point to why this bill was so essential,” said Destie Hohman Sprague, executive director of the Maine Women’s Lobby. mainemorningstar.com/2024/04/23/mai…
Of note on the farmworker minimum wage veto: Gov. Mills insists that the Department of Labor should enforce a farmworker minimum wage law. But by its own admission the DOL has struggled to deter rulebreaking, as Maine employers can expect an investigation once every 323 years
Years of work went into this. We passed the literal bare minimum. We stripped a sentence the Governor included that hadn’t been part of the long stakeholder process of crafting the legislation. That sentence was not agreed to by anyone. It was just the Governor’s.
