The Maine Legislature debates two road bills amid rising tensions. One plan, backed by Seaman Nelson and Butler, would fund roadwork by taxing automobile registrations and distributing 2 million dollars to 16 counties.

Critics say both bills have flaws and urge cross‑party agreement to avoid a fatal stalemate.
