ADC Fund Slash Killed In Maine House
In Augusta AP report the House defeated an amendment to cut 135000 in ADC funds from the state budget amid broader moves by the economy bloc to reduce costs in the current services bill.

Supporters tied ADC aid to morality arguments while opponents warned of higher costs to care for affected children.

Parched Woods See Little Relief From Fire Threat
In New England parched forests face minimal relief from rain and snow flurries. Massachusetts forest fires surge with 18 major and 91 minor incidents as 400 firefighters battle a wind driven blaze in Miles Standish State Forest.
