Good morning. Temperatures will be in the 30s with mostly sunny skies throughout the state. Here's what we're talking about in Maine today.

Janet Mills said she wants to reconsider utility regulations. What did she mean?

• The Democratic governor, who stuck her neck out to back Central Maine Power's corridor proposal last year, surprised many by responding to the utility's myriad issues to say lawmakers should consider changes to the state's regulatory framework. It caused surprise and varied reactions in Augusta.

• Gov. Janet Mills covered a lot of ground in her State of the State address on Tuesday, laying out items likely to appear in a spending plan, signaling some economic caution and making surprising comments on potential changes to utility regulation.
  
  Here are some highlights of Mills’ address from the Bangor Daily News political team.

• The drop in opioid prescriptions between 2011 and 2014 became evident in newly released Drug Enforcement Administration data analyzed by the Washington Post. The first batch of those data, which showed numbers of pills distributed across the country between 2006 and 2012, came out in July of last year. The Post added two more years of data, from 2013 and 2014, in an analysis it published earlier this week.

• The news comes after Coastal Resources of Maine has suffered several recent setbacks. The plant, which opened more than a year behind schedule, is still struggling to sell the fuel products that it makes from trash within the Pine Tree State. It also reopened late last week after shutting down for 4½ days when a partially full propane cylinder -- the kind used on a camping lantern -- exploded inside the facility.

• Renderings for a proposed downtown building show a five-story brick facade topped with a more modern-looking gray-and-glass structure peeking out over neighboring rooftops. It could feature apartments, alongside retail and office space. Residents will weigh on a proposal next week to raise the height limits for buildings in lower downtown which could pave way for this type of development. 

• Three seniors are playing with their sophomore siblings for the two-time defending regional champion Black Bears. The other two boys are sophomores who live together and are future stepbrothers. Their influence has helped build the team's chemistry.
