Maine lawmakers are back at the State House this week to handle dozens of vetoes from Gov. Paul LePage and to take up several unresolved issues.
Among about three dozen vetoed bills is a measure that would fund the expansion of Medicaid. Others would appropriate funds for home-based care services for seniors and people with disabilities.
The governor also wants lawmakers to slow down future voter-approved increases to the state's minimum wage.
In addition, lawmakes have yet to provide funding for the Clean Elections program or decide which borrowing proposals will go to the voters in the fall.
So far, the only bond approved is for waste water treatment facilities. Other proposals, including one for repair of roads and bridges, are still pending.
The cost of the Legislature's continuing special session is expected to be roughly $40,000 per day.
Lawmakers are holding up widely supported tax code reform legislation and a bond package.
