Legislature Debates Revenue Plan And Budget Cuts
The House, with 28 votes and 40 Republican votes, defeated a key amendment 68 to 63. A sales tax boost emerged as the feasible funding method for Reed’s program, while Democrats oppose it yet back an alternative Unsound plan including surplus funds, a bond issue, and tax hikes on cigarettes and liquor. Gov Reed hints that further cuts are legislature’s duty. The defeated amendment would cut 7.5 million from a supplemental budget, including pay raises for state employees, welfare medical care, University of Maine funding, and economic development. Lawmakers criticized the cuts as destructive, while supporters argued the changes advance a sturdy path forward.
