Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 6th of April.
Good morning, Bangor.
Glad Tidings Church held its annual Easter Eggstravaganza last Sunday morning at its facility.
The event featured an egg hunt in a ball pit (with hundreds of eggs), candy, prizes, and a stuffed animal for each child, welcoming families to enjoy a fun community tradition.
A benefit car meet was held on Sunday at Town Fair Tire in Bangor to support Scott Thibodeau, a Medford man injured on I-95 while helping a stranded driver.
Organizers raised funds for his medical bills + his recovery, uniting the local automotive community.
Lawmakers plan to debate a bill (LD 2141) that would use $4 million in unclaimed bottle deposits to support farm and lake conservation this week, with local breweries opposing the measure for fear of rising costs while conservation groups back it.
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey plans to end a 200-year-old Sunday hunting ban — a change that would leave Maine as the only state with the restriction.
The proposal, now under public review, may also adjust rules for crossbow use and residential setbacks to curb deer populations.
