Maine House Passes Marriage bill 89-58

The Maine House of Representatives passed LD 1020 by a vote of 89-58 on Tuesday. Previously, the State Senate had passed the bill last week by a vote of 21-14.

The bill needs to go back to the Senate for a final vote on Wednesday, and after that it will be sent to Maine Democratic Governor John Baldacci for his veto or signature.

The Governor has so far refused to indicate what he will do to the legislation when it reaches his desk.

MadProfessah spent a little time in both New Hampshire and Maine less than 4 weeks ago and now both state legislatures are expected to pass marriage equality legislation. Coincidence?
