Did you see the news about our Maine Democrats?
“Maine's Democratic House speaker is calling on a lawmaker to resign following publication of a weekly newspaper article that questioned his relationships with teenage girls, including some who attended the now-closed Maine Girls' Academy.
Speaker Sara Gideon said in a statement Friday she values the voices of the young women who came forward about Westbrook Democratic Rep. Dillon Bates. The Bollard reported on the alleged relationships Friday, quoting one woman who wasn't named.”

BTW, Rep. Bates just happens to be a member of Maine’s Joint Standing Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research and Economic Development as posted at https://legislature.maine.gov/house/jt_com/lce.htm

So the BIG question is, will he resign?
What do his buddies in the public-sector labor unions/PACs like Maine SEIU and Maine AFSCME think about this recent development?
