Maine Senate Debates Six Percent School Funding Revise
In Augusta the Senate considers a revision to Maine's school funding law to cap the second year increase at six percent, excluding special and vocational programs. The House approved most provisions, allocating 2.5 million in relief for 241 towns facing education tax hikes, with Wiscasset set to receive limited relief. The plan would raise Central Maine Power's CMP paper taxes by about one million, potentially passed to customers.
