The Maine House of Representatives has approved a bill that would legalize recreational marijuana.
The 112-34 margin suggests the bill could survive a veto from Governor Paul LePage, a Republican, who opposes legal marijuana.
City officials in Manchester, New Hampshire took a year and nine months to announce that a 14-year-old girl was raped at one of its high schools.
A 17-year-old boy was convicted on June 22, 2017 of raping the girl on September 30, 2015 in an out-of-sight alcove in an out-of-the-way hallway at Manchester High School West that school officials knew students used to skip class and smoke cigarettes and marijuana, prosecutors said. The rape was first publicly disclosed when the district attorney's office that prosecuted the case issued a press release about it.
