Maine ERA effort fails in third Senate defeat
Rep. Kathleen Goodwin of Bath says she remains optimistic that the Equal Rights Amendment will become part of the U.S. Constitution despite the Maine Senate killing the proposal for the third time. The House had passed it twice, while opponents urged caution and education of the public as proponents prepare for future sessions. Senators faced pressure from both parties amid large lobby efforts and security concerns in the chamber.
