Laurel Libby reacts to Justice Department referral after Maine refuses to ban trans athletes from girls sports

The state of Maine could face consequences from the Department of Justice for its continued refusal to ban trans athletes from girls sports, and the lawmaker who brought awareness to the issue in the state weighed in. 

After the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) said it referred Maine’s "noncompliance" with Title IX rules to the Justice Department Friday, Maine Republican state Rep. Laurel Libby placed blame on Gov. Janet Mills and the state's Democratic lawmakers.
