“For too long, Maine’s tax code has asked the most of those with the least. Now, we’re on track to change that. This surcharge will generate hundreds of millions of dollars for workers, families, and students,” said MECEP State and Local Tax Policy Analyst Maura Pillsbury. “Mainers have been clear: they want a tax system that’s fair, and they want that money invested in their kids and their communities. The appropriations committee delivered on that promise. Now we call on every member of the House and Senate to do the same.”
