Rep. Laurel Libby

Laurel Libby, a Maine state representative, discussed the end of the legislative session and Governor Janet Mills' final term. Libby criticized Mills for pushing through a 2% millionaire tax, raising Maine's income tax to the highest in New England. She noted Mills' efforts to appeal to her base, which she believes led to extreme legislative actions.
