AUGUSTA, Maine (WGME) -- A controversial bill to prevent Maine police departments from collaborating with ICE has reached the governor's desk, but she is not going to sign it.

The bill was approved in the House and the Senate last month, but it will be held over until next year's legislative session.

Governor Janet Mills can veto it, or allow it to become law without her signature, but not until the next session.

Any state that does this should receive zero federal funds.

Isn’t this the same witch that decided Trump when he met with all the governors and she said, ‘I’ll see you in court’, to which Trump said ‘Great, that will be easy to win’.

Yes. Apparently she and her brother have business dealings that would be better left unscrutinized.

Corruption-wise, I think she’s fairly clean, unless she’s still finagling a job for her crazy drunken “wife.”Maybe Tina needs to make a bold move on immigration, or trans-insanity. She flies undef most peoples’ radar.
