Our take on some of the Legislature’s tax-related bills this year. #mepolitics
Our take on some of the Legislature’s tax-related bills this year. #mepolitics
The second session of the 131st legislature delivered some surprising tax policy proposals and outcomes. From a bipartisan proposal to raise taxes on wealthy households to a corporate tax transparency law, here are the top tax policy proposals we followed. mecep.org/blog/tax-polic…
I am disappointed that @GovJanetMills has vetoed the minimum wage for farmworkers. It is beyond ridiculous for her to call stakeholders together to meet for months, develop a policy recommendation endorsed by her own Department of Agriculture and then veto it.
$33k is a lot of money to most Mainers. This is what it will cost *just* to create a special form for the Sea Dogs to apply for their tax credit. That’s right, $33k of taxpayer dollars so a business can apply for a tax break. What would you do with the money instead? #mepolitics
This #TaxDay, working families across Maine are paying their fair share in taxes — but many wealthy people and corporations are not. Learn more about why tax fairness is important and how Maine can make tax structures fairer in our newest explainer. mecep.org/blog/tax-fairn…
New from @MauraPillsbury: Bill to increase taxes on top earners is a step toward a fairer tax code and could be modified to deliver an even bigger boost to Mainers struggling with rising costs #mepolitics mecep.org/blog/bill-to-i…
New from @JamesxMyall: It’s right to re-examine highway funding in Maine #mepolitics mecep.org/blog/its-right…

Anytime politicians or an industry decide they cannot survive without not paying workers the prevailing minimum wage, giving them the same rights of redress as all other employees, and recognizing their dignity, there is a fundamental wrong to right. #mepolitics
“Maine’s farmworkers need to know that many Maine people…do see you and do care about you Sadly, a stroke of the veto pen wielded by one person thwarted the wishes of the many.” #mepolitics pressherald.com/2024/04/30/opi…
Long time farmworker attorney, advocate & former State Rep. Tom Harnett explains:
Curious if any actual farm workers advocated for add-on piece about private right of action, or just lawyers hoping to represent them?
Gov. Mills had the opportunity to bend the arc of the moral universe a little further in the direction of justice, but instead she did the opposite. "Shame on her," writes Mike Roland, retired director of the Maine Bureau of Labor Standards pressherald.com/2024/04/28/opi… #mepolitics
An op-ed from Michael Roland who I have always admired for his fairness, his calm demeanor and his insight. For him to use the particular words he uses here is like hearing Mr. Rogers call you a disappointment. pressherald.com/2024/04/28/opi…
Our statement in reaction to Governor Mills’ veto of LD 1231, a bill that added new tax brackets for high income earners: LD 1231 wasn’t a perfect tax bill, but asking the wealthy to pay more was a step in the right direction. #mepolitics mecep.org/news/mecep-sta…

This is our statement on @GovJanetMills’ shameful veto of a minimum wage for farmworkers in Maine. #mepolitics #Shame
I am disappointed that @GovJanetMills has vetoed the minimum wage for farmworkers. It is beyond ridiculous for her to call stakeholders together to meet for months, develop a policy recommendation endorsed by her own Department of Agriculture and then veto it.
Black families have been systematically denied the opportunity to build wealth. That's why intentional investments can help close the racial wealth gap. Proud to have secured $1M with @SenWarren for @BECMAinc to support Black-owned businesses & entrepreneurs in the #MA7.
Our tax dollars are paying for this, and nothing good will come of this. Not for Iran. Not for Israel. Not for Palestine. Not for the United States. This is what happens when you ignore international human rights law. God help us.
BREAKING: Israeli missiles hit site in Iran, a senior U.S. official tells our @MarthaRaddatz
Don't let them fool you, extreme Rs in MO are stealing money from public education to give to private institutions. We need real funding and reforms to education that focus on kids and give schools the tools they need- not to focus on who is giving the biggest campaign donation
whenever I see software like this, it highlights how dangerous it was/is to push for the advancement of STEM while diminishing social sciences because now there is all this tech made without any consideration of ethics/morals.
NEW: Rents are up 20% since 2020. And a housing cartel's algorithm could be to blame. RealPage, a software company, allegedly works with landlords to drive up rents across the country. This is an illegal price-fixing conspiracy. And it's forcing Americans into homelessness.
Plus this is unfair to #Maine small businesses (think sole proprietor to 10 employees) who never see the kind of handouts showered on corporate and big private equity interests which in essence makes stockholders’ profits “insured” prudently planning and investing. #mepolitics
Today Maine House members had a chance to vote down LD 2258, a $2m corporate tax giveaway to the wealthy. Instead they showed once again corporate interests own state politics, and they will take money from the pockets of Mainers to pad their profits. #mepolitics
