A Closer Look at the Real ID Act

Last week the governor pledged to change Maine's driver's licenses so that they will comply with new Department of Homeland Security standards. In response, DHS granted the state a last-minute extension so that Maine residents can still board airplanes and enter Federal Buildings. This week, the Governor's bill goes before the legislature, and it is facing strong opposition. Some say it compromises civil liberties, others say it's simply too expensive and unworkable.

Also, go inside the Lewiston/Auburn Youth Court, Maine's only court by and for teenagers. The concept appears to be working well. The recidivism rate among young people who've come before the court is a fraction of that for the system at large.
