Governor Lepage’s proposed tax revisions

Below is a link to the overview of Governor Lepage’s proposed 2016 – 2017 State Budget.  Check out the details.

A quick view shows that the proposed budget approaches $7 BILLION.  The estimated population of Maine currently is 1,330,089.  Simple math indicates that the State is costing each person (woman, man, child and others) over $5,165 each for the pleasure of residing here for the next 2 years.  That doesn’t include heat, electricity, health care, food or housing costs.

I think the Governor could do better.  I’ll be sharing some of what I feel could be changed in future updates.
