The governor is just trying to bypass the people on this bill. He's using as a distraction while his other bad budgetary plans may get passed. He'll drop this bad idea, if they pass his other bad ideas.

"I guess this bill is going to put anyone in jail that lays a finger on a gay person."

That's already against the law... assault and battery, plus a hate crime.

"The bill would amend the Maine Human Rights Act to add sexual orientation as a class protected against discrimination in employment, housing and education."

I didn't realize that this was a problem.
