Across the Aisle: Why Maine Reps Voted Against ISIS Measure

Earlier this week, Maine's two U.S. representatives voted against a measure that would give President Barack Obama the authority for the U.S. military to train and arm moderate Syrian rebels in the fight against ISIS. For reaction we turn to our weekly "Across the Aisle" contributors: Cynthia Dill, an attorney and former Democratic state senator: Meredith Strang Burgess, of Burgess Advertising and Marketing, who also served as a Republican representative in the Maine Legislature; and, sitting in this week, Shawn Moody, founder of Moody Collision Centers, and a former independent candidate for governor. They spoke with Keith Shortall.
