Ryan Fecteau, Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, discussed the status of the supplemental budget, which is stuck in the Senate due to failing to garner two-thirds support in the House. The emergency provision was stripped out, but it remains intact in the Senate. Fecteau emphasized the urgency of funding for providers like hospitals and nursing homes and the spruce budworm issue. He also addressed the censure of Representative Laura Libby for a post that included identifying information about a high school student, leading to her losing her vote and ability to speak. Fecteau called for an apology from Libby to resolve the issue.
