Julie Hartigan, 60, of Westbrook, sat with her dog, Brina, outside the Governor's Mansion to protest against the state shutdown due to COVID-19 Saturday. " It's time for people to get back to our lives," said Hartigan, emphasizing that if businesses don't reopen soon, "we're gonna lose everything."
It might have resembled a July 4th gathering - people wearing red, white and blue and waving American flags and signs quoting the Constitution as speakers blasted songs by Lee Greenwood and Bruce Springsteen with "U.S.A." in the titles.
