Maura Pillsbury, State and Local Tax Policy Analyst with the Maine Center for Economic Policy, described the inclusion of the millionaire’s tax as the fulfillment of a promise to Mainers. “This surcharge will generate hundreds of millions of dollars for workers, families, and students,” she said in a statement. “Mainers have been clear: they want a tax system that’s fair, and they want that money invested in their kids and their communities.”
