Public Safety Tech Scrutiny: Lewiston’s use of Flock license-plate cameras is drawing fresh questions about access, oversight, and how outside agencies are using search logs, even as police say requests are reviewed and controlled.

Transportation + Construction: MaineDOT is investigating the Old Town bridge collapse during replacement work, with safety inspections continuing and details still limited. Insurance Costs: Maine regulators approved nearly a 15% average ACA premium increase for 2027, pressuring CoverME.gov shoppers and small employers. Local Economy + Logistics: Americold is closing a Plainville warehouse planned for Stop & Shop frozen foods, setting up a property sale and raising questions about what drove the shutdown.
