Porteous seeks a $2 million appropriation matched by federal grants to fund medical care for the indigent, paying hospitals and nursing homes now partially reimbursed by the state.

Albair seeks $50,000 for a state property tax study. Rep. Crockett files $500,000 to boost Maine promotional advertising in national media.
