Editorial Page Opposes Boothbay Lab Closure
An editorial argues against closing the National Marine Fisheries Service Biological Laboratory at Boothbay Harbor due to a 34 million dollar budget cut. The lab, with 40 staff including many marine scientists, conducts essential cold water fisheries research supporting Maine lobstering and offshore lobster industry work. It calls for protest against the closure amid broader efforts to expand Maine fisheries.

Biddeford Bill Defeated in House on Teacher Bargaining
Scrappy Biddeford advocate Carl Sheltra led a heated 10 minute floor clash over L. D. 1974 known as the Biddeford Bill. The measure would remove scheduling and staffing issues from bargaining while leaving wages and job conditions to teacher union arbitration. The veto override failed as factions wavered and even supporters like Bob Farley balked. The Maine Supreme Court now weighs the dispute between Biddeford school board and teachers union as the Legislature waits.
