Income Tax Study Killed
In Augusta the Senate and House split on a bill to study a Maine state income tax by the Legislative Research Committee. The Senate narrowly defeated the motion for indefinite postponement 15 to 14 while the House passed the bill 66 to 44. Supporters argued a study could reveal tax effects on residents including retirees from Massachusetts, while opponents warned of a tax’s impact on relocation decisions. The measure now proceeds to further debate.
