Lawmakers to Return Tuesday

 AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ The budget is center stage in Maine, where bills typically become law when signed or 90 days after the session ends. 

    Lawmakers plan to return to session Tuesday to try to overturn outstanding vetoes _ including, presumably, the $6.7 billion state budget.

    The governor has until late Monday to veto the bill, and Democratic House Speaker Mark Eves warned lawmakers to prepare for a marathon session the following day to override the veto in time for the new budget cycle, which starts Wednesday.
