The Latest: House votes to hold casino bill until next year
The House of Representatives voted 97-45 on Tuesday in favor of sending the bill back to the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee.
The measure would allow the state to establish a competitive bid process and seek proposals for a resort-style casino in York or Cumberland County.
Maine's Government Oversight Committee will soon decide whether the state will launch an investigation into Republican Gov. Paul LePage's interference in a school's personnel affairs.
The committee will meet Wednesday to discuss Democratic House Speaker Mark Eves' allegation that LePage pressured Good Will-Hinckley into removing him as president by threatening to withhold more than $500,000 a year in state funds.
More than 100 people rallied outside the Statehouse Tuesday to urge lawmakers to look into the governor's actions and start the impeachment process if it's discovered that he broke any laws.
