Correcting the record

A photo caption accompanying an article published Wednesday on the State page about testing and cleanup efforts at the defunct New Franklin Laundry in Bangor was inaccurate. Officials with the federal Environmental Protection Agency have found no evidence of any recent hazardous chemical spills at the site.

A news item that appeared on page B2 in some editions Wednesday contained incorrect information about the preferred donation for a Meals for Me meal in Lincoln. The preferred donation is $2.50.
