AUGUSTA - On Tuesday, the Legislature's Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee met to consider the 245 bills that made it to the Special Appropriations Table. During their meeting, the committee made recommendations to fund 80 bills, including nearly 40 bills championed by House Democrats.
Following the committee votes, House Majority Leader Mo Terry, D-Gorham, issued the following statement:
"Throughout this session, House Democrats have been steadfast in our commitment to thoughtfully invest in Maine families and support our most vulnerable community members. The bills from our caucus that the Appropriations Committee voted to fund today build on all of the good work we have done in the last two years to make Maine a better, more equitable place to call home. They include targeted, limited investments that intend to balance addressing many of our state's most pressing challenges while still protecting our long-term fiscal and economic health."
