Representative Owen on Maine sales tax debate at Grange
Representative Henry W. Owen Jr spoke before West Bath Grange on the Maine sales tax bill, framing it as part of a broad act to provide old age assistance and school funding. He stressed the act’s fiscal impact, the legislature’s duty to balance aid with revenue, and that passage affects long term education and elderly support rather than sales tax alone. The piece also notes MacMahan Island picnic and local social notices.
