Maine's governor owes Trump an apology
Maine's governor refused to respect the executive order Donald Trump issued banning men in women's sports, and now, he wisely wants to withdraw federal funding:
President Trump is demanding a “full throated apology” from Maine Governor Janet Mills (D) after her opposition to the president’s executive order to keep men out of women’s sports.Well depending how things go, revoking funding from Maine may still be necessary. They really have become such a bad lot there, and don't need to receive any taxpayers' money.
In February, Trump and Mills sparred at the White House Governors’ Conference over the president’s executive order titled, “No Men in Women’s Sports.” The order could result in federal funding loss if any state universities attempted to ignore or circumvent it.
After Trump challenged Mills on whether she intended to implement the order, she referred to her state’s current law, which allows trans athlete participation, and told the president she would “see you in court.” Trump replied, “You better do it because you’re not going to get federal funding.”
Trump kept his promise to withhold federal funds. In March, following an investigation, the Department of Agriculture announced a pause in $175 million in funding to the state. The University of Maine System (USM) relented and complied with Trump’s order, and funding was soon restored.
