1. Portland officials remain divided over a $60 million plan to relocate the Amtrak Downeaster station from Thompson’s Point to St. John Street. The rail authority says the move would save passengers 15 minutes per trip, but city officials question the location and cost. The City Council will vote next month on three recommendations, including keeping the station where it is. (PH)

2. The South Portland School Board has voted against banning students in pre-K through eighth grade from using artificial intelligence for the rest of the school year. Some teachers argued a ban would disrupt computer science and STEM classes, while students raised concerns about AI affecting their education. The district currently has no specific AI policy, and no changes will be made for now. (WMTW)

3. A popular Hallowell bar will keep its liquor license after the City Council voted to renew it Monday night. The Quarry Tap Room faced opposition from the police chief following several incidents, including a bar fight and a viral video showing security putting a customer in a headlock. The chief withdrew his opposition after the owners agreed to make changes to their operations. (WGME)

4. Maine could see its first widespread rain and snow of the season as a storm approaches Friday into Saturday. Forecasters say most of the state could see a mix of rain and wet snow, although the storm’s track remains uncertain. Temperatures will drop into the 40s by week’s end. (WGME)

5. Aldi is looking to open its second Maine grocery store in North Windham, near Walmart and McDonald’s. The proposal calls for demolishing an existing building to make room for a 19,000-square-foot supermarket. The town’s planning board is reviewing the application. Aldi opened its first Maine location in Portland back in March. (WGME)
