A budget prioritizing affordability and healthy communities

By Rep. Ellie Sato 

With the second session of the 132nd Legislature in full swing, my colleagues and I have begun working on the supplemental budget – changes to the two-year budget the Legislature passed last year. This budget is one of the most important pieces of legislation in the second session, and it will play a critical role in shaping the direction of our state in the near future.

Webb electricity tax cut receives unanimous support in Maine House

AUGUSTA – Today, a measure sponsored by Rep. Kilton Webb, D-Durham, to help lower electricity costs for Maine families received unanimous, bipartisan support in an initial vote in the Maine House of Representatives.  

LD 2078 would create a sales tax exemption on all electricity sold and delivered to residential homes in Maine. Under current state law, only the first 750kw of electricity delivered to homes each month is exempt from sales tax.
