Members of the Legislature's Appropriations Committee huddle during budget talks on a Sunday night a few weeks ago.

AUGUSTA, Maine - The Maine Legislature has completed action on two of the biggest bills they had to consider: the state's general budget and the transportation budget bill. They still, though, have hundreds of measures to deal with before they can adjourn the session for the summer. From Augusta, Mal Leary joins Maine Things Considered host Nora Flaherty to talk about the work that's left to be done.
