The Maine Senate barely passes the emergency measure to provide 880,000 eligible Mainers checks for $450 to help pay to heat their homes this winter. The House again passed the bill by a large majority. The bill now heads to the governor who plans to sign it into law. @WGME pic.twitter.com/qhzz2kRon8
