This week on the podcast, Cate chats with Garrett Martin of the Maine Center for Economic Policy. They do some unpacking on what the new federal tax bill really means for Maine families.
Garrett breaks down how deep cuts to programs, like stricter work requirements for Medicaid and food assistance could leave many Mainers without essential supports. He also highlights who really benefits from the bill and talks about why it’s time for Maine to do what the federal government isn’t, and make our tax system fairer.
