Maine Legislature closes 22 week session in Democratic control
Maine's 102nd legislature and first Democratic majority in decades wrapped a record budget and major education advances after 22 weeks. Governor Reed praised bipartisan cooperation while taxes rose on cigarettes and wild lands, liquor prices increased, and a four percent sales tax was applied to telephone bills. The session funded university construction and education bills, but left the Allagash wilderness debate to another study, and failed to enact broader government reforms.
