Hold the line: Maine budget fight opens in Augusta
The special session in Augusta begins as Gov. Longley seeks to avoid a tax hike. State revenues for December show gains but the fiscal year ends $3.2 million short of expectations. Maine faces an $8.5 million gap to keep public schools open and demands from state workers loom. The 151 member House and 33 member Senate mean tough negotiations ahead. The session will cost taxpayers about $750,000. There are no quick fixes, and legislators push for budget restraint to prevent further pay reductions.
