Abstract
The Maine Legislature's Appropriations Committee votes on every line of the state's $3.8 billion budget. The committee has ten new members on the 13-member panel, the result of term limits. Newcomers typically ask questions to which government managers are not accustomed. One veteran member of the committee said the traditional checks and balances between the Legislature and the executive branch might be comprised due to the inexperience of committee members. Details.
