Maine Senate to Debate School Funding Plan Hike
After two weeks in the House, Maine education funding moves to the Senate where a compromise would raise income tax by 26 percent, add five cent cigarette taxes for 10 months, and cut the property tax levy for education. Gov Longley pledges to veto any tax-raising bill. The measure aims to fund more education costs while seeking tax relief for property owners.
