Press Herald - When Maine seemed poised to pass the nation’s first temporary ban on new data center development, the country started to pay attention. Then came the veto. Gov. Janet Mills shot down the measure late last week, saying she would have signed it if it included an exemption for a development proposed at the former Androscoggin Mill in Jay. Critics were quick to condemn the move, while supporters praised Mills for defending local interests amid national scrutiny.
A jury has awarded $102.2 million in a lawsuit over artwork attributed to the late Robert Indiana, a longtime Maine resident who created the famous LOVE sculptures. In a case filed in New York just before Indiana's death in 2018, the group that owns the rights to his work sued his former associate, Michael McKenzie, who was found to have produced fraudulent pieces and violated copyright and trademark laws.
