The Maine Legislature passed a more than $300 million spending bill on Wednesday that funnels additional money nursing homes and other social service programs but also increases taxes on tobacco and popular streaming services.

Mal was an institution. He was old-school, tough but always fair. He was seemingly everywhere at once in the State House. Veteran lawmakers came to him with questions about process or history. And he was a mentor to many reporters, myself included. Thinking of his family today…
