Abstract

"Politics + Other Mistakes" piece on the Legislature's Committee on Future Maine Prosperity, which has reached an agreement on a budget-cutting plan that calls for a special commission of people from outside state government. The group will be charged with finding $75 million in budget cuts, above and beyond the $95 million required to balance the current budget. The commission's recommendations will then go to the Legislature for a vote, with no amendments allowed. The author questions why the Legislature needs outsiders to do its job.
