Budget Talks Aim for $44 Million Maine Plan
Legislative leaders and Gov. Curtis neared a budget accord amid resistance to align rank and file. A $44 million two year package was possible with restored university funds and added employee pay, while a separate sales tax debate loomed. Senate leaders warned selling the plan to caucuses will be tough. The House remains wary about votes for the proposal and the sales tax increase.
