Smart-Meter Shock in Texas: Amarillo residents say new digital water meters and billing changes sent bills soaring—some reporting usage jumping from 11,000 to 44,000 gallons and costs tripling overnight—while the city points to drought and leaks and won’t comment on individual accounts. Maine Aging Under Pressure: With Vice President JD Vance set to visit Bangor on fraud and oversight, Maine’s debate is also turning inward on caregiver strain and the strain inside aging systems, not just the paperwork. Local Business at Risk: Caribou’s city says a sprinkler failure could force six businesses out of a downtown shopping plaza by May 14 unless repairs move fast. Offshore Wind and Indigenous Partnership: Atlantic Canada chiefs are urging offshore wind developers to start early with Indigenous businesses to drive “economic reconciliation.” National Politics, Cuba vs. Iran: Republicans are pushing to focus on Iran first and rely on economic pressure rather than military action in Cuba, even as Trump heads to China.
