CBD industry in crisis after ingestable products pulled from shelves. A protest is being planned for Tuesday morning.

I've lived in the capital area my entire life and I've never seen the dome on the Capitol building anything but baby-puke green! This is the color it is suppose to be...the color God intended copper to be. It's just that the elements wreak havoc on the metal and, after a while, it gets snot green again (sorry about the verbiage, but you have to admit, while not very pleasant, it IS descriptive).

If you've been in Augusta near the State House, you've probably noticed that construction is underway on the century-old copper encasing of the dome. Lawmakers are getting a lot of questions about what will happen with the old metal.

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.
