Press Herald - The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday rolled back a landmark 2009 finding that greenhouse gases threaten public health, eliminating the legal basis for federal climate protections. Without those federal “Good Neighbor” protections, Maine families will face “dirtier air, poorer health, rising temperatures and extreme weather events,” Gov. Janet Mills said. Maine already has one of the highest asthma rates in the nation.
Gov. Janet Mills said she plans to attend a meeting of the nation’s governors at the White House next week after President Donald Trump reversed course on plans to exclude Democrats. It will be the first time Mills and Trump will be in the same room after clashing over transgender athletes at the same event last year. It’s unclear whether Mills will once again be in Trump’s crosshairs.
