UPDATE: Members of the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday afternoon rejected a proposed ban on Agenda 21. Only three lawmakers voted in favor of the bill. Rep. Jarrod Crockett (R-Bethel) said he believes the bills supporters will have a future opportunity to discuss the bill before the full House. AUGUSTA – Maine Democrats maneuvered during Tuesday’s meeting of the Judiciary Committee to kill a Republican-backed ban on implementation of United Nations “Sustainable Development” Agenda 21 in Maine. Rep. Ricky D. Long (R-Sherman) introduced L.D. 220, An Act To Ban the United Nations Agenda 21 in Maine. in order to prevent any state actor from adopting or implementing policies originating in the United Nations Agenda 21 or other international laws that restrict private property rights without due process. L.D. 220 has ten co-sponsors including Assistant House Minority Leader Rep. Alexander Willette (R-Mapelton). Although the eight Democrats on the Committee clearly did not want Long’s bill to pass, they also did not want to be on record as supporting in any way Agenda 21. So they instead embarked on an endeavor to reject L.D. 220 in the most polite – least accountable – fashion.
