House Gives Initial Approval To General Fund Measure
The Maine House approved the $226.79 million general fund bill with no debate, joining the Senate in support as lawmakers weigh revenue plans to cover a $25 million budget gap. Rep. Harold Bragdon called the measure a compromise reflecting Gov. Curtis and leaders. The panel added a $2 million line for school construction aid and deleted a $1.24 million slated for bond retirement. Initial acceptance was by voice vote with no dissent.

Upgrading Of River Is Made Law
Gov. Kenneth N. Curtis signed an act upgrading sections of the Saco and Mousam Rivers to raise water quality. The Saco would move from C to B-1 between Quaker Brook and Bar Mills and from Bar Mills to Salmon Falls and Biddeford to the sea from D to C. Little River and Ossipee River would rise from D to C. The move aims to align waterways with federal standards and aids Old Orchard Beach and sport fishing near the Saco estuary.
