In the March 9 Maine Sunday Telegram, Charles Todorich discussed Joshua Chamberlain’s actions on Little Round Top. However, in trying to compare Gov. Janet Mills’ decisions to Chamberlain’s, he pushed his metaphor too far. Mills was at a governors’ conference when President Trump confronted her about transgender athlete policies. Mills asserted she would follow federal and state laws, but Trump threatened state funding and insulted her. According to Todorich, not choosing this “hill to die on” would mean Mills submitting to Trump’s demands. However, he argued that role is already taken by Republican legislators. This incident highlights the challenges faced by state leaders when confronted by federal authority.
