Maine House postpones action on sales tax measure
AUGUSTA The House leadership delayed further action on the 3 to 4 percent sales tax bill to hear an alternative plan from opponents. Rep Ernest D. Smith and Rep William E. Dennett proposed taxing real estate transfers and fuel, plus broader liquor and auto sales, instead of raising the general rate. The plan targets $13.35 million over two years, funding the current services budget and education welfare and institutions, with details to be refined before a third reading.
