AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — A mural depicting the history of the labor movement that was ordered removed from a Maine state office building is going to take up residence at Portland City Hall.

Gov. Paul LePage incensed union officials when he ordered the removal of the 36-foot mural from the lobby of the building that houses the Maine Department of Labor.

The Portland City Council will vote on whether or not to take the mural on April 4. One of Portland’s city councilors, David Marshall, a green independent, was at the protest in support of keeping the mural at the labor department. There is some doubt that the Democrats on the City Council will accept the mural.

On Friday, LePage said he appreciates the history represented by the mural, which was created by artist Judy Taylor. But he said artwork displayed in that building must reflect the department’s goal of balancing the interests “of both employees and employers to accomplish its mission.”

Rep. Ben Chipman of Portland initiated the discussion to move the mural to Maine’s largest city. He says the move will keep it on public display.
