PORTLAND (WGME) – Maine will not get as many crisis receiving centers as Governor Janet Mills set out to create. A crisis receiving center like "The Living Room" in Portland, run by Spurwink, is a building staffed with a team of health workers and volunteers.

It cut off funding this week, with no notice, to agencies working to resettle immigrants and refugees in the state.

A special education private school run by Spurwink says it should be allowed to immediately discharge a student who has injured staff, but the state education department says that's not allowed under federal law.

Mills authored the state's novel "yellow flag" law with a prominent gun rights group. She says a red flag proposal that would allow family members to petition a judge to remove a loved one's guns undermines that law.

Frigid temperatures and dangerous wind chills will give way to snow across western Maine heading into the weekend, according to the National Weather Service in Gray. Wind chills early Thursday dropped to between -5 and -15 degrees across the region,

A resident found the remains Saturday afternoon in Garcelon Bog, Maine authorities said. Officials believe the remains, found at the end of Lewiston’s Russell Street, have been in the bog for “an extended period of time,” and there is no danger to the public, the state’s Department of Public Safety said in a press release on Sunday.

A State Department directive says agencies will not be reimbursed for items like housing and food assistance, cutting off lifelines for new Mainers during the first three months in a new community.

Slick road conditions across Maine led to multiple crashes Wednesday. On Sabattus Street in Lewiston, a crash Wednesday morning brought down utility lines, making for a messy situation. The road was closed in the area for multiple hours but has since reopened.

Police are investigating after human remains were found in a bog in Lewiston, Maine, on Saturday afternoon. The human remains were found in the Garcelon Bog at the end of Russell Street, according to state police.

Maine's Total Weather is tracking a clipper system that is set to bring several inches of snow to many in the state.

Immigrant rights advocates are preparing for the possibility of increased raids and enforcement activity across Maine, telling people to know their rights and get their documents in order in the event they are contacted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The directive, issued on Friday, said the federal government will no longer reimburse resettlement agencies for certain basic needs including housing and food.
