Fed reserve: Mills is dead wrong

Do you remember when Janet Mills claimed that a vaccine mandate would not cause “job loss” and/or “wide effects on Maine’s economy“?

Well according to a just-released report from the Federal Reserve, Governor Mills’ claims could not be further from the truth. Take a look:

“’Firms reported high turnover, as workers left for other jobs or retired. Child-care issues and vaccine mandates were widely cited as contributing to the problem, along with COVID-related absences,” the Fed said in its summary of overall national economic activity.'”

Looks like Mills has some splaining to do.

“Mainers watch helplessly as hospitals, nursing homes and mental health providers continue to reduce services because of Governor Mills’ vaccine mandate,” said RGA spokesman Will Reinert. “Yet, instead of revising her state policy mandating vaccines for healthcare workers, Mills continues to double down, standing by Joe Biden’s overreaching federal vaccine mandate on small businesses despite the risk of economic doom for the state.”
