Abstract

"Capitol Update" piece on the reaction to Gov. LePage's controversial tax proposal. Some feel that more people are negatively impacted by high property taxes than personal taxes and Garrett Martin of the Maine Center for Economic Policy called the proposal "fiscally irresponsible". But John Wakefield of the Maine Association of Retirees says the members support tax relief and feel that they've already been hit hard by cuts to the Cost of Living Allowance. LePage's proposal includes exemptions for income earned by members of the National Guard and military on active duty outside of the state.
