Augusta AP reports a historic slate of female candidates for Maine’s state legislature with more than 30 women on the November ballot for House and Senate seats.

Saco City Council Approves 4.7 Million Budget
The Saco City Council, after a finance committee recommendation, approved a $4.7 million budget at a Monday hearing with about 75 attendees. The debate centered on a $79,200 cut to the proposed $2.7 million school budget, with critics saying the cut would reduce education toward the state average. Proponents argued the cut would restrain spending and preserve next year’s budget, while some residents claimed the schools were failing and taxes were high. The hearing also touched on a $750 grant for the conservation commission, up from an originally requested $1,200, and procedural questions about the commission’s communications.
