“Citing ‘strong public support’ yesterday in a letter to the bill’s sponsors, LePage officially indicated that he intends – eventually – to sign LD 718. ‘But he is proceeding with caution because the legal effort required to defend this law will be complex and very costly,’ says his press secretary, Adrienne Bennett. LePage says he agrees that ‘consumers should have the right to know what is in their food.’ But he also alludes to concerns over the constitutionality of labeling requirements, and according to Bennet, the Governor expects that other states that pass labeling laws now will be on the front lines for legal attack.”
