Maine legislature adjourns amid stalled reform push
In Augusta, the Maine legislature ended its 106th session with major reform packages failing. Senate leaders warned the big plan is effectively dead as the House rejected the measures for the fifth time. A partial reform stripping the executive council of powers could be salvaged, while a house-cut reform package stalled by a dozen votes. The Senate also advanced a homeowners tax exemption proposal.
