Ethan Strimling, D-Portland, and Rep. Arthur Lerman, D-Augusta, proposing a sales tax on advertising in order to raise about $30 million that would be used to mitigate budget cuts affecting Medicaid and higher education; and attempts by the insurance industry in Maine to obtain exclusions on the policies, including homeowners insurance, from covering terrorist attacks.
