Senate Republican Leader Trey Stewart
Posted on by dmartignetti
Senator Trey Stewart discussed the recent extraordinary session in Maine, where the governor bypassed constitutional requirements to pass a $11 billion budget without Republican support. Stewart highlighted the unsustainability of MaineCare, noting a $100 million unallocated budget for the second year. He criticized the Democrats’ refusal to negotiate reforms, including work requirements for able-bodied adults on MaineCare. Stewart also addressed the conflict of interest raised by Secretary of State Jenna Bellows running for governor while overseeing elections, citing her past actions as evidence of bias. Stewart declined to comment on his own gubernatorial aspirations.
