Rep. David Boyer

Representative David Boyer discussed the rally to save Maine kids at 9 AM in the Hall of Flags, highlighting 150 child deaths under state supervision over the past years. He emphasized LD 127, which aims to give lawmakers oversight tools by allowing the Government Oversight Committee to access case files. Despite bipartisan support, Democrats are blocking the bill, fearing it could expose their administration. Boyer praised Democrats Adam Lee and Craig Hickman for their efforts. He also mentioned upcoming veto day, where bills on data centers and sealed records are expected to be vetoed, and expressed hope for the bill’s passage despite political obstacles.
