Maine's government shutdown entered its third day on Monday, July 3, 2017, as union members hold a rally across from the Maine State House in Augusta, Maine.

As many people are traveling to celebrate the Fourth of July Holiday, the state of Maine is experiencing a partial government shutdown. An impasse over the two year state budget continues at the state House in Augusta…where tensions are high. Mal Leary, Maine Public’s Political Correspondent discusses the situation with Maine Things Considered Host Nora Flaherty.
