Abstract

"News" piece on a legislative bill by Rep. John Michael, Independent-Auburn, that would have allowed girls to play on boys' sports teams. After a loud confrontation with two female senators last January, Michael became the first state representative in history to be censured by the Maine House. His strong reaction to the Senate's 20-12 vote that killed his bill has some wondering if the censure had any effect on his behavior. Michael called the Senate's female Democrats "a bunch of phonies," and "not a group I respect."
