Proposed Settlement Reached in Maine Cable Law Case

On Friday, Comcast and various channel providers, as well as the Governor of Maine, the Attorney General of Maine and several Maine cities and towns, moved for an entry of stipulated final judgment and order for declaratory and permanent injunctive relief in the District of Maine in the lawsuit spurring from Maine’s à la carte cable law.
Specifically, the plaintiffs moved for the court to approve and enter the proposed Stipulated Final Judgment and Order, which will provide declaratory and permanent injunctive relief in a proposed settlement between the parties.
Previously, in 2019 Maine enacted “An Act to Expand Options for Consumers of Cable Television in Purchasing Individual Channels and Programs,” which created an à la carte cable requirement by mandating that cable companies allow consumers to pick cable channels or programs individually instead of bundled in a package of channels. In their complaint, the plaintiffs alleged that the law is: “(1) preempted by the Communications Act of 1934 (the ‘Communications Act’), as amended, and (2) violates the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution” and requested declaratory and injunctive relief. The District of Maine previously granted Comcast’s preliminary injunction against the law, stating that the law was not preempted by federal law, but violated the plaintiffs’ First Amendment rights. Maine appealed the decision in February 2020 and in June 2020 WarnerMedia filed an amicus curiae with the First Circuit. In February 2021, the First Circuit affirmed the district court’s decision to grant a preliminary injunction to cable providers on First Amendment grounds against the à la carte cable law.

Council says it's not the right time for retail marijuana in Bar Harbor

BAR HARBOR —Unless someone forces a citizens’ initiative to allow marijuana businesses, it is unlikely that Bar Harbor will be participating in the retail marijuana trade.
During a special town marijuana workshop on Tuesday, Town Council members expressed a variety of reasons as to why it was not the right time to allow marijuana-related establishments in Bar Harbor.
Council members were aided in their discussion by Stephen Wagner, a member of Rudman Winchell’s municipal law practice group, who explained the opt–in process and took questions from council members, some of which will be answered at a later date.
