Lawmakers are still in session as this hour, and will likely be in Augusta into the evening as they take up several tough issues. Maine Public Radio Political Reporter Mal Leary joined Ed Morin from Augusta to discuss today’s session.
Journalist Mal Leary spearheads Maine Public's news coverage of politics and government and is based at the State House.
Ed is a Maine native who spent his early childhood in Livermore Falls before moving to Farmington.

It was during that time that he first became involved with public broadcasting. He served as an intern for what was then called MPBN TV and also did volunteer work for MPBN Radio.
