Maine Lawmakers Back Home After 14 Day Session
Maine lawmakers returned to Augusta after a 14 day session that spent eight million dollars without tax increases. In the second special session the GOP led 103rd Legislature sent measures to voters and considered new revenue sources for 1969. Governor Curtis warned the 1969 budget could reach about 300 million, with debate over an income tax or a higher sales tax as possibilities. Major actions included the University of Maine consolidation, increased education subsidies, a 12.5 million student loan program, and college scholarships. Bond plans for a new Lewiston Auburn bridge and state college dorms were approved, while some bills were rejected.
