The Maine state GOP lawmaker who got officially silenced by Democrats for defending girls’ high-school sports is now fighting her own party’s attempts to clamp down on chickens, she said on Thursday.
“A fellow Mainer just alerted me to LD 1655, a bill that would regulate how many chickens you can own, the space required in and out of a coop per chicken… right down to ‘a door with a latch,’” Rep. Laurel Libby (R-Auburn) told her Facebook followers. “Micromanaging much???” she asked.
“Extra dumbfounding, it’s a Republican bill. Democrats know better than to get between a Mainer and their chickens. You can’t make this chicken %$&@ up.”
Rep. Libby is best known these days – even nationally – for getting censured for writing a social-media post that identified a trans athlete who won a girls’ state pole vault competition in February.
