	Democratic candidates applaud Mills’ legacy while distancing themselves from parts of her record The Democratic gubernatorial candidates, clockwise from top left, Shenna Bellows, Nirav Shah, Troy Jackson, Hannah Pingree, Angus King III. (Photos by Maine Morning Star; Official campaign photos)On the same day that Gov. Janet Mills dropped out of the race for U.S. Senate, the five Democrats hoping to succeed her praised her legacy, but highlighted key decisions they would have made differently. The candidates were gathered on stage for the first televised debate in the Democratic primary, aired on WMTW Thursday evening. From Secretary of State Shenna Bellows calling Mills a “trailblazer,” to energy entrepreneur Angus King III praising her for standing up to President Donald Trump and even former Senate President Troy Jackson —who often openly disagreed with the governor — commending the Medicaid expansion she passed, the candidates mostly spoke highly of the governor’s record. However, the each highlighted positions that they disagreed with. These included her opposition to fully restoring tribal sovereignty, her record of voting against some gun safety legislation, her vetoes of bills penalizing drug companies for arbitrarily raising prices, and her refusal to sign a bill temporarily banning data centers. “If I was governor, I would have signed that legislation,” said Hannah Pingree, who previously served in the Mills administration and as speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, about the data center ban, which the governor vetoed last week. “I think it is very important that we put guardrails around AI data centers to ensure that they are not jacking up the rates of electricity rate payers.” The candidates, which also included formerMaine Center for Disease Control and Prevention Director Nirav Shah, rarely disagreed with each other. Instead, they highlighted Mainers’ cost of living challenges, lack of access to affordable healthcare and the need to reform the public school system. “On matters of policy, we are remarkably aligned, and that speaks volumes for the strength of what we are going to be able to put forward in the general election,” Shah said. Bellows credited their collegiality to ranked choice voting. While voters will not be able to rank candidates in the November election, during the June 9 primary they will. “People at home can vote for all of us,” Bellows said. When explicitly asked to distinguish themselves from other candidates, Jackson said he’s been the only candidate that came out in support of Graham Platner, who is now the presumptive Democratic U.S. Senate nominee. “I was looking for a change candidate right from the start,” he said of the Senate race. “The status quo is not working for most of us across the state.” Many Democrats announced their support of Platner after Mills’ departure from the race Thursday, including Shah and Bellows. The latter also appeared alongside the military veteran at an event in Lewiston Thursday afternoon. One point of difference emerged when Pingree and Bellows pointed to King’s mixed stance on tribal sovereignty. King said while he supported the idea of tribal sovereignty, there are “a lot of details that need to be worked out when two nations need to coexist in the same place and in lots of different parcels across the state.” “And I think it’s really important that we get it right first, before we get into a situation we end up with greater lawsuits, greater conflict, and people not getting along,” he added. Education King, who has been touring schools as part of his campaign, tried to set himself apart from other candidates with his focus on education. He said he would demand greater accountability from Maine schools, which have been grappling with plummeting test scores, declining enrollment and untenable school budgets for years now. He would also focus on building reading skills, making sure teachers are adequately paid and held accountable for the results in their classrooms, King said. Bellows also said she wants to be known as “Maine’s education governor,” which she said would start with the state taking on a higher share of the education budget. She also focused on the need to retain and recruit teachers, including paying student teachers stipends. Jackson described a recently passed law increasing the minimum teacher salaries to $50,000 over the next three years as ”a joke.” He said Maine teachers should be paid a minimum of $60,000, which would still fall below the national average salary of more than $74,000. Pingree agreed with Jackson on raising the minimum salaries faster, and said she supported some measures the Legislature passed this session, including a cell phone ban and free community college. At a time when many rural schools are facing closures, Shah said he would “maintain schools across Maine through every available option that I can, because when we can prevent a small town school from closing, we can prevent an entire town from beginning to collapse.” Affordability All candidates said they want to lower property taxes and expand affordable housing, with many suggesting a turn to out-of-state homeowners and tourists to help alleviate the financial burden on Maine renters and homeowners. Jackson said he would double the recently passed tax on millionaires, which will impose a surcharge of 2% on the portion of a resident’s taxable income beyond $1 million. Responding to a common concern that such a tax would drive wealthy people away from the state, he said, “anyone that actually thinks that way is already left.” “We’ll figure out a way to actually bring people back by giving them property tax relief,” he added. “I’ll trade them property tax relief for income taxes, and that they’ll actually do better under that scenario.” Jackson also said he would work to get private equity property owners out of the state. Bellows said as governor, she would “double property taxes on out-of-staters who are gobbling up our property because one in six Maine homes is a vacation home right now.” Pingree, whose platform focuses largely on housing, building on her work leading the Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future, said she also supported the millionaire’s tax and increasing property taxes on out- of-state homeowners. “I would invest $100 million a year to build more housing in the state of Maine,” she said. King focused on cutting red tape to enable more housing construction. He also criticized Trump’s tax policy, saying, “the first thing I wouldn’t do is what President Trump did, and cut taxes for billionaires.” Shah said the challenge for the next governor will be “balancing the need to build more housing with making sure that we don’t destroy everything that makes Maine the beautiful place it is: our environment, our streams, our forests.” He also said he would pass a “Maine first look law,” under which for the first 30 days a starter home is on the market, only young Maine families would be able to bid on it. Healthcare Most of the Democratic candidates agreed that Maine is facing a healthcare crisis. Several shared personal anecdotes, such as Pingree highlighting the sharp increase in her family’s marketplace health insurance premiums and King telling viewers about a $100,000 medical bill his family received. All candidates said they support universal healthcare with Shah, who ran the Maine CDC during the COVID-19 pandemic, calling it his “North Star.” “That is the goal that I would like to get us to, and away from a model where, right now, care is delivered based on how much an insurance company might think you want or how much you need,” he added. Shah said he would cap copays and deductibles based on household income levels and increase taxes on insurance companies, which he would use to fund struggling rural hospitals. Jackson said he would “force private equity to do their job and give healthcare, and not worry about dollars and cents.” Pingree agreed. She also highlighted her healthcare plan that includes a public option, which would allow the state to negotiate better rates for individuals and small businesses. King said he would seek to break down silos in the healthcare system so that hospitals, patients, doctors, and nurses work together to solve a system he said is fundamentally broken. Bellows said as governor she would provide direct funding for hospitals, community health centers, birthing centers, and family planning, including Planned Parenthood. “No one should be sick because they are poor, or poor because they are sick,” she said.

	House panel advances bill legalizing closure of Iowa City Historical Research Center Ricki King, a public historian who serves on the boards of the Iowa Historical Foundation and the State Historical Society of Iowa, speaks April 30, 2026 to lawmakers in opposition to a bill that would allow the state to no longer maintain a Historical Society center in Iowa City. (Photo by Robin Opsahl/Iowa Capital Dispatch)Advocates told a House panel that legislation removing a state requirement to maintain an State Historical Society of Iowa research center in Iowa City would not mitigate a current lawsuit challenging the state’s move to close the Iowa City location in 2025. Speakers also reiterated concerns about the loss of historical artifacts and records that would come if the center is closed. Senate File 2293, passed by the Senate in early March, strikes the requirement in current state code for the Iowa Department of Administrative Services to maintain a historical resource research center in Iowa City. The requirement for a center to be maintained by DAS in Des Moines would remain as-is. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX This legislation comes several months after DAS had announced its plan to close the Iowa City center. The State Historical Society of Iowa announced the move in June 2025 with plans to close the State Historical Society of Iowa Research Center June 30, 2026. The announcement that was met with a lawsuit from a group of historians, professors, archivists and donors. The suit cites the language in existing Iowa law that the bill seeks to eliminate. DAS officials have said closing the Iowa City facility is necessary as the state historical society faces a $800,000 budget shortfall. Ricki King, a public historian who serves on the boards of the Iowa Historical Foundation and the State Historical Society of Iowa, told reporters she did not approve of how the move was handled. As a member of the SHSI Board of Trustees, she said trustees were not notified before the decision was announced. King also said she was concerned about closing the Iowa City center not only because the move defies existing state law, but also because Iowa City hosts historical materials that reflect “where most of Iowa history started, is on east side of Iowa — and that’s where most of the people of color’s records are going to be.” “I’m worried about those records being lost,” King said. “”I understand the centennial building isn’t a viable location, but the legislation going through the courts isn’t saying ‘reopen that building’ as much as ‘make sure we have a location still in Iowa City,’ — we can maybe find a different building location.” While this measure has the possibility of resolving some issues in regard to the first lawsuit, Jim Carney with the nonprofit corporation State Historical Society Inc. told House lawmakers Thursday that changing this language would not resolve their organization’s second lawsuit challenging the center’s closure. This lawsuit has been consolidated with the other case in Johnson County District Court. Carney said in an interview the State Historical Society Inc. lawsuit specifically deals with the State Historical Society of Iowa’s contract with their nonprofit, which he said would not be impacted by the bill, and that previous court cases in the state have “maintained the right to contract, and the Legislature can’t impair those contracts.” “This bill will not solve that litigation,” Carney told lawmakers. “I’ve talked to the attorneys handling the matter, and I think we just wanted you to be aware of the fact that as you’re doing this, the explanation (from supporters) may be that this might take care of it — and it might even create more litigation, actually.” Some of the concern brought up surrounding the closure of the Iowa City location centered on actions that have already been taken to move materials out of Iowa City, as well as concerns about what will happen to the historical objects that will not be stored in Des Moines. At a June 2025 board meeting, Iowa State Archivist Tony Jahn said 40% of the Iowa City collections would be transferred to the State Historical Building in Des Moines, while the other 60% would be sold, dispersed or discarded. While litigation was pending, the state began moving some historical materials from the Iowa City location in October, using unmarked trucks and workers with Iowa Prison Industries, the Gazette reported. Tami Wiencek, legislative liaison for DAS, reiterated that removal of materials “has been put on hold with this injunction,” and that earlier removal of materials was kept at a “bare minimum.” She also said DAS and the State Historical Society are “serious stewards” of these historic objects. “Our State Historical Society and specifically the archivist follows not only professional standards within the archive industry for moving or keeping of documents and materials, but we also have standards in code and in administrative code,” Wiencek said. Rep. Dave Jacoby, D-Coralville, said, “I’m not really sure that the Department of Correction people are trained in moving archive materials.” Jacoby criticized the bill as “cancel culture,” removing Iowa City’s place in state history as the first capital — and criticized the bill coming up in the final days before lawmakers aim to end the 2026 session. “This is something that we could have been working on together all through the session,” Jacoby said. “… I think to date, that this is maybe the worst bill that we could move forward in the closing days of the 2026 session.” Rep. Shannon Lundgren, R-Peosta, did not give a firm answer on whether the measure will move forward in the House before final adjournment. “I am going to consult the leadership and see what their intent is,” Lundgren said. The measure was recommended for passage by the subcommittee after the meeting, according to the Legislature’s website. SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE Courtesy of Iowa Capital Dispatch

	Federal judge upholds Florida’s citizen initiative restrictions Florida Decides Healthcare Executive Director Mitch Emerson talks to reporters in Tallahassee outside the federal courthouse on May 22, 2025. (Photo by Christine Sexton/Florida Phoenix)U.S. District Judge Mark Walker has rejected a legal challenge to Florida’s restrictions on ballot initiatives that was filed by groups who have been pushing measures on marijuana and Medicaid expansion. The two-week trial wrapped up in February and Walker issued his ruling on Thursday. The judge, who previously criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Legislature, sided with state election officials by concluding that the groups that sued in some cases lacked standing to bring their lawsuit. But he also found that lawmakers had the power to pass the restrictions in 2025 to combat fraud and “protect the integrity” of the initiative process. Walker wrote that he understood groups seeking to place initiatives on the ballot have been “dismayed” at the changes but concluded they were allowed. “The citizen initiative process, which gives Floridians a path to amend their Constitution, is virtually dead save for the most controversial issues for which tens of millions of dollars can be raised,” Walker wrote. “But Plaintiffs’ quarrels with the wisdom of the Legislature’s actions — at least with respect to those provisions under HB 1205 for which Plaintiffs had standing to challenge — are policy arguments, not constitutional violations for which this court may grant relief.” Walker added that “it is not for this court whether it is a good or bad thing that political power is being further consolidated in Tallahassee and reclaimed from the safety valve of direct democracy.” Florida Decides Healthcare, one of the groups that sued, put out a statement Thursday evening saying the organization was “disappointed with today’s ruling. We are carefully reviewing the order and considering all available options, including an appeal. Medicaid expansion continues to be an important issue because every Floridian deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of their zip code or income. This fight is not over.” Florida legislators passed the law on ballot measures after citizens’ initiatives to allow abortion and recreational pot nearly passed in November 2024. The law requires petition circulators to be Florida residents and U.S. citizens, prohibits convicted felons who have not had their voting rights restored from circulating petitions, and requires all petition circulators to register with the Florida Division of Elections. The law allows the state to levy a $50,000 fine against an organization that allows those categories of people to even handle petitions. The fine is per violation. SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE The law trims from 30 days to 10 days the deadline to deliver signed petition forms to a supervisor of elections and makes it a third-degree felony for a petition circulator to fill in missing information on a petition. Critics contend the law — with all of its restrictions on groups and who can collect signatures — will make it nearly impossible for outside organizations to ever place an initiative on the ballot in the future. Florida Decides Healthcare challenged the law along with Smart & Safe Florida, which is pushing for recreational marijuana use for adults; the League of Women Voters of Florida; League of Women Voters of Florida Education Fund; League of United Latin American Citizens; and FloridaRightToCleanWater.org. Witnesses for Florida Decides testified in court that the organization was forced to shut down its efforts to put its amendment before Florida voters in November. Florida is one of nine states that hasn’t expanded access to Medicaid to low-income childless adults, as allowed under federal law. Meanwhile, Florida Decides relaunched its petition efforts with a goal of having the proposal appear before voters in the 2028 midterm elections and will be helped by two additional partners: the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network and the American Heart Association.

	Eligibility restrictions for food assistance programs head to governor’s desk Lawmakers send legislation to the governor's desk April 30 restricting eligibility for food assistance programs. (Background photo by Cami Koons/Iowa Capital Dispatch; EBT card courtesy of the state of Iowa)Republican-backed legislation restricting eligibility for federal food assistance programs is headed to the governor’s desk over the objections of Democrats, who said it would worsen food insecurity in the state. The Iowa Senate amended House File 2422 Thursday afternoon and sent it to the House on a 27-16 vote. The House accepted the change and gave the bill its final approval on a 59-24 vote. Sen. Scott Webster, R-Bettendorf, said the amendment “makes it clear that illegal aliens are never eligible for public assistance.” SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX He said the changes were needed under the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which in part will penalize states based on their error rate in determining eligibility for food assistance. “We need to follow federal law, or we’re going to put everybody on these programs in danger,” he said. Among other eligibility changes, the original bill required the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services to require 12 months of continuous residency in the state to qualify for public assistance. It requires the department to use the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, program to verify immigration or citizenship status when determining eligibility for public assistance programs. Those programs include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), medical assistance programs, the state child care assistance programs and the family investment program. The earned income of all members of a household would also be considered for SNAP applicants, while the House bill would have excluded income of children and young adults under age 22. The Senate’s change specifies that that the only noncitizens eligible for public assistance are those admitted for permanent residence (green card holders), those granted the status of Cuban or Haitian entrants under the federal Refugee Education Assistance Act, or those granted legal residence under the compact of free association, which affects the Pacific Island nations of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and Palau. Sen. Sarah Trone Garriott, D-West Des Moines, said while the federal rules that the bill codifies may change, the bill means Iowa law will deny assistance to numerous classes of noncitizens who are in the country legally. “No matter who is president or who’s in Congress, and what decisions that those leaders who are elected make in the future, Iowa is going to refuse to feed refugees asylees, survivors of domestic violence, humanitarian parolees and victims of human trafficking,” she said. The Senate also stripped out House-passed language that had bipartisan support. The so-called “work without worry” provision would have allowed Iowans with disabilities to continue working and earning money without losing access to Medicaid services. It would have increased the income limit from 250% of the federal poverty limit to 300% of the federal poverty limit for Iowans to qualify for the Medicaid for Employed People with Disabilities program. ‘It’s a very simple promise that every Iowan who shows up to work hard and plays by the rules should be able to do so safely, with dignity and without fear of losing everything that they’ve gained because of something beyond their control, their disability,” Sen. Molly Donahue, D-Marion, said. “But that promise has been stripped from this bill at a time when families are already trying to balance rising costs, job uncertainty and real risks in the workplace.

	NC Senate aims to curb Medicaid costs and allow more insight into hospital charges NC legislators consider curbing hospital facility fees. (Photo: Warodom Changyencham/Getty Images)A state Senate committee advanced a bill Thursday that would limit the fees hospitals can charge Medicaid for outpatient care. House Bill 727 would prevent hospitals tacking extra fees, called facility fees, to Medicaid bills when patients are treated outside some hospital settings. To charge a facility fee under the bill, hospital systems will have to have treated patients in a main hospital or nearby building, a building with an emergency department, or an ambulatory surgical center. Sen. Jim Burgin (R-Harnett) said this week that for years now, hospitals have been adding the fees to bills for outpatient office visits. This is one of several bills legislators have promised to consider this year as they look to control rising Medicaid costs. “This is a step toward trying to address fees, and especially facility fees, that are charged at facilities that have either been purchased or that are away from campus,” Burgin told members of the Senate Health Care Committee this week. The proposal is a narrower version of a provision included in a sweeping bill the Senate passed last year aimed at reducing healthcare costs. The Senate initially wanted to curb facility fees for other kinds of insurance, in addition to Medicaid. The state House did not consider that Senate bill. Hospitals have objected to proposed facility fee limits. Josh Dobson, CEO of the North Carolina Healthcare Association — a group that represents hospitals — told legislators in March that facility fees help pay for medical staff, equipment, and supplies in hospitals and hospital-owned clinics, NC Newsline reported. NC legislators question hospital fees charged for outpatient care The Senate Health Care Committee also approved House Bill 390, which would allow the state’s Medicaid managed care companies to ask hospitals for itemized bills when a patient’s inpatient Medicaid charges top $250,000, or in some cases where a patient’s treatment costs more than expected. Managed care plans can already ask for itemized hospital bills for charges over $250,000, according to the state’s guide for managed care billing. The bill the Senate committee endorsed Thursday would allow the managed care companies to ask for detailed hospital bills for unusually high charges even when that $250,000 threshold isn’t reached. Sen. Benton Sawrey (R-Johnston) said the proposals are aimed at controlling costs and providing more transparency “so we have more information about what is, in fact, driving the costs.” With the state looking at paying an additional $1 billion for Medicaid in the next budget year, it’s fair to ask why costs are going up, Sawrey said.

	Senators approve requiring shrimp advertised as local to come from SC’s shores South Carolina legislators want diners to know whether their shrimp was actually caught along the Palmetto State's coast under a bill the Senate approved Thursday, April 30, 2026. In this photo, shrimping boats line the bayou in Dulac, Louisiana. (File photo by Julie O’Donoghue/Louisiana Illuminator)COLUMBIA — When diners at a South Carolina restaurant order shrimp advertised as local, that should be their guarantee the crustaceans were caught off this state’s coast, senators said in passing a bill meant to cut down on what some called shrimp fraud. Under the bill the Senate approved on a voice vote Thursday, restaurants and bars could tell patrons their shrimp is local only if they’re actually harvested off South Carolina’s shores. Restaurateurs who lie about their shrimp’s origins could face a fine of up to $1,000 or up to six months in prison for a first offense, then a fine of up to $5,000 and up to two years in prison if it happened again. That wouldn’t apply if the wholesaler selling the shrimp misrepresented where the food came from. The Senate’s version varied from the House bill, which required that restaurants specify only the country the shrimp came from. Under that version, restaurants could advertise “local” American shrimp without clarifying that it was caught in a different part of the country. That didn’t go far enough toward making sure people know what they’re eating, senators said. “To me, I don’t think you have to know if it’s China or if it’s Brazil,” Sen. Stephen Goldfinch, a Murrells Inlet Republican, said during a committee meeting earlier this week. Louisiana lawmakers tighten net on imported seafood What’s more important, Goldfinch said, is knowing if the shrimp was caught in South Carolina or not. In the Lowcountry, some restaurants and bars claim to serve locally caught shrimp and seafood that didn’t actually come from the state’s waters, Goldfinch said. “You’re paying for something you think it is, and it’s not,” Goldfinch said. “Even on such a small scale as shrimp, it’s fraud. You’re defrauding the purchaser, and I find that to be abhorrent, especially for something you’re eating and consuming.” Wholesalers, grocery stores and other places selling raw shrimp would still have to disclose the shrimp’s country of origin under the Senate version of the bill. That mirrors the federal Country of Origin Labeling Act, a 2005 law also known as the COOL Act, but is meant to give state officials the power to enforce that rule. As is, “the FBI is not coming down and investigating fraudulent shrimp,” Goldfinch said. The bill applies only to restaurants that choose to advertise their shrimp as local. It doesn’t require restaurants to disclose where their shrimp comes from. Requiring a restaurant to specify on its menu the country of origin for a dish might cause chaos if a restaurant had to switch wholesalers, and the new one sold shrimp from a different country. That would force the owners to replace menus with a new location, said Sen. Michael Johnson, who proposed the changes to the bill. Along with giving diners assurances they’re digging into dishes with local shrimp, the bill is meant to help local shrimpers sell their goods to restaurants, Johnson said. Under existing law, a restaurateur could buy seafood from elsewhere and still say it’s local. “We have the best shrimp in the world,” the Tega Cay Republican said Thursday. “This is going to make sure that a shrimp harvested in South Carolina waters is the only thing that can be called local.” The Senate’s vote sent the bill back to the House, which can decide whether to agree on the changes and send it to the governor’s desk or negotiate the differences.

	State agencies release updated PFAS advisories for fish A rainbow trout tagged by FWP as part of its study of fish declines in southwestern Montana rivers. (Image courtesy FWP)Montanans who consume fish from many of its waterways should take care when doing so, a combined statement from three state agencies says. The state released updated guidance because per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been found in fish across the state. Updated guidelines, including which areas to take particular care with, can be found on the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks website. There are 21 new or updated fish advisories, the state said in a release. PFAS are man-made chemicals that degrade extremely slowly over time and are associated with health issues, including damage to human and animal hormones, reproductive, and immune systems. They are also linked to certain cancers and are sometimes called “forever chemicals.” In a statement three agencies – FWP, the state Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Environmental Quality – said the updated advisory was based on several years of research. Additionally, the agencies said in the release that they, “are not regulatory standards” and are meant to make people more aware of potential risks. “This advisory is based on the agencies’ published results of 2023 and 2024 fish tissue and surface water sampling efforts for PFAS in select waterbodies across the state,” the state release says. “The goal of the PFAS sampling effort was to screen edible-sized fish for PFAS contamination in waterbodies across Montana.” The new regulations ask the public to be cognizant of how often they’re eating the fish per month based on the size of the fish. For example, the state is advising men to not eat Walleye larger than 18 inches from Bighorn Reservoir and women and children to not eat Walleye larger than 14 inches. “While it is important to be aware that eating fish caught in Montana may expose individuals to low levels of PFAS in some waterbodies, eating a moderate amount of a variety of fish can provide significant health benefits for many people,” the release says. Additionally, the state said the data is likely not representative of every waterbody in the state. “Sample locations were selected based on proximity to confirmed or potential sources of PFAS and distributed across important regional fisheries,” the release says. “At least one PFAS chemical was detected in fish tissue at 12 of the 14 locations sampled and in surface water at 2 of the 14 locations.” Montana developed a plan to look at the issue in 2020. It’s also been a major issue in Washington state, including firefighting foam at an airport north of Seattle and issues around some military bases in the state. Multiple military installations in Montana are also listed as “PFAS sites of concern” by DEQ. https:fwp.mt.gov:binaries:content:assets:fwp:fish:montana-sport-fish-consumption-guidelines-final-4.21.26 Courtesy of Daily Montanan

	North Carolina reaches $11 million settlement with EpiPen manufacturer in overcharging dispute North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson (left) and Treasurer Brad Briner announced an $11 million settlement with the manufacturer of the EpiPen on Thursday, April 30, 2026. (Photo: courtesy of NCDOJ)The manufacturer of the EpiPen is paying North Carolina $11 million after N.C. Attorney General Jeff Jackson accused the company of overcharging the state and its residents. Jackson said in a press conference Thursday afternoon that Mylan Inc., which produces the injector that treats life-threatening allergic reactions, has been systematically overcharging the state, raising the price of EpiPens from $100 to $600 between 2009 and 2016. “We have evidence that they were engaged in a number of anticompetitive practices that allowed them to raise the price of this,” he said. “They put financial pressure on the middlemen who decide what drugs insurance companies cover and what drugs they don’t cover.” He said Mylan also used the patent system to block cheaper generic drugs from entering the market, and made “misleading claims” in marketing campaigns about generics that already had made it to market. The EpiPen’s inflated prices inflicted significant additional costs on the State Health Plan and the state’s Medicaid program, Jackson said. Each will receive $4.2 million under the settlement, while the remaining $2.6 million will cover restitution to the state and attorney’s fees. Mylan also agreed to raise its co-pay coupon for the authorized generic version of the EpiPen from $25 to $40 for North Carolina consumers. Jackson was joined Thursday by state Treasurer Brad Briner, whose office oversees the State Health Plan, in a rare show of bipartisan unity in North Carolina’s executive branch. He praised Jackson for helping to get justice for the state’s taxpayers. As Jeff Jackson battles Trump, NC GOP threatens to leave him with a ‘feckless, empty shell’ of a job “As someone who carries an EpiPen and someone who has a child who carries an EpiPen, this particularly hits close to home for me,” Briner said. “We obviously sit on different sides of the aisle, we obviously don’t agree on everything, but we certainly agree on this.” Briner said it is “a pleasure to share actually positive news about the State Health Plan,” which has struggled to respond to the rising costs of healthcare. “It’s not something we get to do every day.” “$4.2 million of this settlement comes to the State Health Plan, and that’s just simply money that we don’t have to ask our hardworking state employees for, it’s money we don’t have to ask our taxpayers for, and so we are very grateful for that,” he said. Mylan denied any wrongdoing, according to the settlement, but indicated that it wished to avoid “the delay, inconvenience, and expense of protracted litigation.” The company previously settled a 2022 class action lawsuit over its practices relating to the EpiPen, awarding consumers and insurers $264 million nationwide. The agreement comes just over a year after Jackson’s office helped reach a separate settlement with Mylan, netting the state up to $9 million as part of a $335 million nationwide lawsuit over the company’s role in the opioid epidemic. Jackson said that his office continues to litigate against a large number of prescription drug manufacturers over alleged price fixing. “This is a very important message to send to prescription drug manufacturers everywhere,” Jackson said. “If we have good evidence that you’ve broken the law, we’re going to hold you accountable.” SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE Courtesy of NC Newsline

(Courtesy of Governor's Office)LINCOLN — Gov. Jim Pillen is wrapping up a two-day trip to London this week to tout Nebraska’s beef and ethanol production, and talk about energy opportunities with international officials. “Given the recent trade framework that exists between the U.S. and the U.K. and the favorable conditions for exporting more beef, ethanol and other American products, this is a good time to build relationships and understand better how Nebraska can play a role in meeting the short and long-term needs of that nation,” Pillen said in a press release. The governor’s transatlantic visit began Wednesday and finishes Thursday night. During the trip, he met with members of the U.S. Embassy and others, including the United Kingdom’s chief trade negotiator, Graham Floater. Gov. Jim Pillen and chef Jay McCarthy at a dinner hosted by the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. Meat Export Federation. (Courtesy of Governor’s Office) While overseas, Pillen attended a dinner hosted by the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. Meat Export Federation, which featured Nebraska beef. Guests included UK importers and members of the culinary industry. “Nebraska beef is the best on earth — and I’m proud to build relationships and create opportunities for our ranchers to sell their beef around the world,” Pillen said in a social media post about the event. Pillen will also have an opportunity to meet government representatives, and those in private industry interested in new trade opportunities around increased ethanol quotas. Under the U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity Deal, the United Kingdom implemented a duty-free quota allowing 370 million gallons of U.S. ethanol to be imported annually, eliminating previous tariffs of approximately 20%. Prior to his return, Pillen will have another chance to promote U.S. beef during a dinner event at Smith & Wollensky, an upscale steakhouse in London. The invited crowd includes more than 100 importers, distributors and others in the British foodservice and retail industries.
