Maine Fire Investigation: Federal ATF investigators have joined Maine Fire Marshal teams at Robbins Lumber in Searsmont after a deadly explosion killed firefighter Andrew Cross and left others critically hurt, with officials saying the cause-and-origin probe will be “lengthy and technically complex.” Local Tax Fight: Skowhegan-area voters will weigh a June ballot change to how MSAD 54 cost-sharing shifts property taxes among towns, with some communities urging a no vote. Banking Rule Shift: The OCC finalized a rule that preempts state requirements on interest paid for mortgage escrow accounts, potentially reshaping what national banks owe borrowers while related legal fights continue. Civil Liberties: The ACLU’s court fight over January ICE arrests in Portland is continuing after a lawsuit alleged profiling and unlawful detention. Data Center Backlash: Across the U.S., opposition to AI data centers keeps growing, and Maine remains in the mix as towns look at their own limits after Mills vetoed a statewide pause.

Note: AI summary from news headlines; neutral sources weighted more to help reduce bias in the result.
