SAD 71 Suit Seen Delaying School Building
In Kennebunkport voters at a town meeting approved a $5,000 suit against SAD 71 and others to challenge LD 1994 and LD 1452 and the legislature's authority over district contracts. The action risks delaying a $5.2 million high school project as bond counsel may hesitate to certify bonds. The town also endorsed a sewer expansion program to begin when funding is available.

In Washington the Senate intelligence committee moved to strike the name of a former CIA official from its final report amid a shift in stance.
