Anti-tax-cut protesters who occupied U.S. Senator Susan Collins's office Bangor, Maine in December 2017 have been sentenced to one whole day in jail.
The three women staged the sit-in on December 18, two weeks after a group of five anti-tax-cut protesters occupied the same office and got off with a $100 donation to charity after the Penobscot County district attorney declined to prosecute them.
Maine Governor Paul LePage, a Republican who is sometimes called the most conservative governor in America, plans to speak at a campaign event for Massachusetts U.S. Senate candidate Geoff Diehl.
Diehl, a Republican state representative from Whitman, is running against two other candidates, businessman John Kingston and former Mitt Romney political aide Beth Lindstrom, for the GOP nomination to oppose U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Cambridge) in November.
