Oversight Means Boating Rules Die
More than 100 boating and personal watercraft regulations have expired in Concord and will not be reinstated until July 15 due to renewals overdue. Marine Patrol director Dave Barrett said the lapse surfaced in February with an emergency request, and rules require legislative committee approval to restore. Among expired items are mooring rules, beatings fines, and bans on certain personal watercraft uses affecting 72 of 259 restricted water bodies including Bear and Gilman ponds, Butterfield Pond, Cawley Pond, Frenches Pond, and areas of the Merrimack River and Squam Lake.

Lawmakers graded on green issues mixed in Maine
The Natural Resources Council of Maine gives a mixed environmental report on lawmakers in the June Maine Environment newsletter. It credits a computer and TV recycling system, tighter liquefaction logging rules, and phaseouts of toxic flame retardants, but criticizes the failure to seek new Land for Maine's Future funding and to curb pollution on the Androscoggin and St Croix rivers. The council notes partisan tensions, stalled bond talks, and a hoped but unpassed land bond before adjournment, while Maine officials warn the down grade may cost little.
