Democratic Leaders’ Flip-Flop Baffles Senate Republican Leaders

AUGUSTA – Elizabeth Mitchell, Senate Democratic Leader and Chair of the Office of Program Evaluation and Government Accountability, recently and unexpectedly joined the opposition to the government oversight committee she chairs and has Senate Republican Leaders scratching their heads.

Maine's Republican legislative leadership continues to exhibit a significant lack of unity. This issue has become one of the 'givens' of Republican politics in this state, and unfortunately it continues to interfere with the Party's ability to counter the economic maelstrom wrought by Maine Democrats over the last three decades. The schism between House and Senate dissipates the message coming out of both camps, and the opportunity to leverage the will of the people of this state against an entrenched majority party remains out of reach.
