It's getting down to crunch time at the State House, with only 6 weeks left in the current session and a lot left to accomplish.

This site, I realize, has all different opinions but I'm going to voice mine here and welcome you do do the same by commenting and/or taking the poll. Maine is discussing the possibility of Constitutional Carry of hand guns which, if passed, means this: Anyone who can legally own a gun in Maine would be allowed to carry it concealed, without a permit to do so.

This morning, we reviewed a few recent topics the legislature has been covering and introduced a new one. Lawmakers are discussing whether or not immunizations should be mandatory for Maine children before they enter school.

Officers in every other branch of natural resources law enforcement in Maine are trained annually and armed. They carry to protect themselves, and others as they go about enforcing Maine's laws. Forest Rangers enforce Maine's laws too, and even though their jurisdiction is the state's timberland, they're often investigating serious crimes such as theft and arson.

Thank you Senator Roger Katz for joining us every Monday on the Moose Morning Show during the current session of the legislature.

Legislative leaders have said OK to Maine Public Broadcasting Network and expanding State House coverage. It should be kind of like a local version of C-SPAN. The idea was approved by the House and Senate leaders. The free, over-the-air MPBN State House TV channel is devoted exclusively to coverage of the Legislature and government affairs.

The Maine Legislature has reconvened and is getting back to work. They have a lot to look at this session. However, there is still not a change in the stalemate between Democratic legislative leaders and Republican Gov. Paul LePage, who's declined to meet with them.
