Maine Governor Attacks GOP Tax Plan as Reckless
Governor Curtis denounces the Republican package as a reckless raid on Maine taxpayers. He argues the $243 million plan would raise the sales tax to six percent by 1969 and force the next legislature to spend over $300 million to sustain it, offering nothing new for universities health or welfare. He vows continued opposition and hints at a veto option if the GOP majority pushes ahead.
