Garrett Martin, president and CEO of the liberal Maine Center for Economic Policy, said Mills “missed a valuable opportunity to add fairness to Maine’s tax code.”
Martin said Carmichael’s proposal “wasn’t a perfect tax bill — most of its benefits targeted upper middle-class households and no benefits were available for Mainers with the lowest incomes — but asking the wealthy to pay more was a step in the right direction.”
