Maine voters are getting ready to decide on proposed changes to the state's campaign finance law as business interests disagree over the measure and Republican Gov. Paul LePage calls it "a scam." Mainers for Accountable Elections championed the proposal on Tuesday's ballot, and say it will strengthen the law that gives public money to candidates running for governor and the Legislature. The group says the proposal would make more money available to qualifying candidates, increase fines for violators, and require groups to disclose some donors on political ads. But the Maine State Chamber of Commerce says the measure would eliminate $6 million in business tax incentives, and describes it as harmful to businesses. The Maine Small Business Coalition disagrees. It says the changes "elevate the voice of small businesses."  (AP)

A magnitude 2.4 earthquake was measured 17 miles off Bar Harbor, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The minor quake was recorded at 5:20 p.m. Sunday at a depth of 5 kilometers. As of midnight Monday, the USGS had just one response from someone who claimed to feel the earthquake. That response came from Scituate, Massachusetts. Sunday's minor earthquake was the strongest recorded since a 2.5 magnitude near Jay in May. Earthquakes below a 3.0 magnitude are considered low intensity and are felt "by very few under especially favorable conditions," the USGS writes. According to the USGS, an offshore earthquake in April 1957 cracked walls and chimneys in Greater Portland. The last significant earthquake in Maine happened on Oct. 2, 2006, about 45 miles southeast of Bangor, the USGS reports. It was felt more than 100 miles away in Boston. The largest earthquake recorded in Maine, a magnitude 5.1, happened in March 1904. (WMTW)
