Maine lawmakers favored a bill to shift Maine railroad taxes from a gross receipts levy to a sliding scale tax. The measure would set a minimum 1 percent tax with adjustments based on net income versus a 5.4 percent return, potentially limiting relief to a third of the proposed 1,125,000 yearly amount. The House tabled the bill for two weeks amid debate on broader railroad taxation reform.
