CMP clears path to sell 100k-plus surplus M14 rifles

The Civilian Marksmanship Program has won authorization to sell more than 100,000 surplus M14 rifles, marking the first time the CMP will offer M14s. The rifles were originally serialized as fully automatic and must be converted to permanent semi-automatic under a government-approved process. First sales are expected in early 2027 after CMP builds up inventory, with an approximate price of $2,000 per rifle and a two-rifle-per-buyer limit. The CMP has a long history dating to 1903 and privatized in 1996 to sell surplus military firearms.

Maine Faces Historic Storm: Gov. Mills Declares State of Civil Emergency

CMP and Versant officials in Maine discuss the challenges of restoring power after a severe storm. Both companies have been assessing the damage caused by fallen trees and downed branches, making restoration efforts harder. The extent of the widespread damage will determine the timeline for power restoration, with some areas expected to take longer due to inaccessibility. CMP has 400 line crews and 200 tree crews working, with additional crews on the way, while Versant has 95 line crews and 70 tree crews. The officials ask for patience and remind people to watch out for crews working.

Maine Faces Communication Challenges and Infrastructure Damage Amidst Severe Storms

Central Maine Power (CMP), the state's largest utility, is facing criticism for its poor communication with customers during the restoration process following a wind and rainstorm that caused widespread power outages. CMP's outage website provided minimal information, leaving customers in the dark about when power would be restored. Some customers received text messages falsely claiming that power had been restored. CMP defended its lack of information, stating that "assessing" was critical for damage assessment before crews could respond. This is not the first time CMP has faced criticism for its communication during restoration efforts.

Jury rules in favor of CMP, allows resumption of $1B power line project.

A jury has unanimously decided that Central Maine Power (CMP) acted in good faith by continuing the construction of a controversial power line corridor in Maine. The decision comes after a legal case was brought against CMP by opponents of the project, who argued that the company had violated state law by beginning construction before receiving necessary permits. Despite the ruling, the project still faces opposition from environmental groups and local residents.
