Garrett Martin, president and CEO of the Maine Center for Economic Policy, called the child tax credit expansion a smart economic move for Maine, citing research that shows families use child tax credits for basic needs such as food, school expenses and child care.
“This is an economic investment with long-term returns: higher earnings, better health outcomes, and stronger communities,” Martin said.
