The Union reports a volatile session as lawmakers near the end of the 63rd legislature address issues from liquor by the drink to Cuba tensions and Canada relations. Vandalized home fire prompted readers to grab the front page update last Wednesday.
The Union rushed to publish around 4 p.m. but a major fire forced removal of the front page. Firemen fought smoke and flames on two floors, and shingles under the asphalt roof kept burning until about 7:30 p.m. The home suffered heavy damage while workers remained soaked and cold. The paper jokes that only the used type died, not the Union.
